Infant Garment 1986

"Infant Garment," created in 1986 by American artist Barbara Tyson-Mosley, is a mixed-media assemblage that explores the themes of childhood and domesticity. Composed of fabric scraps, wood, and other found objects, the work features a central figure resembling a child's garment, suggesting both protection and vulnerability. The use of found materials adds a sense of history and personal memory, while the overall composition is both whimsical and poignant. The piece is a powerful example of Tyson-Mosley's exploration of memory, family, and the complexities of human experience.
