Shlepping & Displaying

The third part of "Let's take a walk...I need you" consisted of the displaying of the unravelled dresses. I walked along 14 street back and forth on the Saturday and the Monday following LTAW#28 & LTAW#29 carrying, dragging and at time hanging the dresses.  Here are some images.
