Honour ? - by Mary Rouncefield (UK)
This piece consists of a cotton dress which is charred and burnt which has been sewn onto a textile back-cloth attached to a wooden frame (120cm x 150cm).
Mary "I am using this dress to represent the countless women who have been killed because their actions are judged to have shamed other members of their family.
