Diane Bronstein is the curator and one of the participating artists in the "Underneath it all: Desire, Power, Memory & Lingerie" exhibit.
Diane creates paper "intimate apparel". Her pieces consist of nude figure drawings on 18" x 24" newsprint paper, which she then hand sews into bras, girdles, slips, camisoles and corsets. The pose of the artwork determines the size and style of the clothing. "I love the relationship between the drawings of the nudes, and the clothing. The juxtaposition of using underwear to reveal nude images reverses the order of underwear's intended use: naked skin covered by cloth." The provocative poses hint at what the wearer desires, fears, or imagines that the apparel reveals.
Her pieces have shown around the country including New York City, Chicago, Denver, and regionally in New England. In late 2010, she had a solo exhibit at the Frame 301 Gallery at Monserrat College of Art, where she displayed 23 pieces of clothing on clotheslines.
Diane is a graphic designer in Boston.
