    Today I'm admiring the extraordinary work of Manchester U.K.-based artist Susie MacMurray — in particular her Garment Sculptures series, in which the usage of everyday materials such as balloons, rubber gloves and pins give her beautiful dresses an ironic subtext. Really clever and inventive work.
