Bombshells and Bikinis, Installation Detail, 1998
In “Bombshells and Bikinis”, shown in Albuquergue, NM, in 1998, I wore a bikini and bombat boots and climbed the hills of White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, near White Sands Missile Range. After researching the history of women’s body images used in war, I saw photographs of female pin-up paintings on the nose of bombshells. At the time that bombs were going off at Bikini Atoll, a French engineer was designing a two-piece bathing suit. He named it the Bikini. This installation was shown in a Route 66 women’s boutique storefront window.
