Patricia Cronin

the long version

"Shrine for Girls is a series of site-specific sculptural installations created by artist Patricia Cronin, reflecting on the global plight of exploited women and girls"--Page 4 of cover. "The protagonists of Patricia Cronin's work are the garments worn by women from around the world ... three piles of clothes that exist in harmony with the space to express together the new sense of solidarity and understanding of the diverse experiences expressed by the artist ... Venice is returned to the public, the ceremony becomes a tribute to women, where the bodies themselves, and therefore their garments, spectacularly and elegantly represent feminine beauty with that innocence that describes perfectly the identity of a young woman"--Page 15.
