Accession: 1999.57.17 || Ginny Ruffner's sculptures take the viewer on a bizarre and fantastical journey through her stories. In //A Girl's Guide to Fashion Evolution//, Ruffner explores what it means to be female. The ribbons, jewelry, and lace seem frivolous when placed next to objects that evoke adventure and excitement, such as a pyramid, campfire, or squid.
