Fashion tends to treat the body as mere mannequin ? it is the clothing rather than the wearing of it that is purportedly significant. But on the runway, only certain bodies appear. The desire becomes not so much to wear the outfits as to accrue the status that beauty and conformity offer ? it is to reach for the unattainable body and to punish the inevitable failure to achieve it." -Aimee Koch City Hall Bridge Gallery National Postcard Invitational April 24-July 2, 2009 Although the postcard exhibit is over, we have left the link up for you to see a digital version of the exhibit.
