Dresses
1985
Lisa Milroy's *Dresses* (1985) presents a series of garments arranged in a neat, repeating grid pattern against a plain background, rendered in oil on canvas. The dresses are depicted with a clean, almost catalogue-like precision, stripped of any human presence or narrative context. This methodical approach transforms everyday clothing into formal objects of contemplation, inviting the viewer to consider themes of identity, femininity, and consumer culture.
