Ducks In a Row refers to my time in catholic school, where uniforms were central to school life. Each student had to dress exactly the same. Now, many years separated from this ritual, I wanted to revisit this idea. Today I still keep certain aspects of a personal uniform; was this due to my school background? With Ducks in a Row, I wanted a core embodiment of what uniforms mean to me. I remember after a while many students began “breaking the rules” marginally. With this project, I am doing the same, distorting my old catholic school uniform.
