Ellen Green is a Chicago based artist who has been spending her time creating once wearable art pieces. She strives to play on the juxtaposition of the femininity of the leather gloves (traditionally worn to church, weddings, funerals, formal events etc) and control over sexuality, with masculine tattoo designs (describing a time where tattoos were worn by sailors, bikers and criminals) that she adorns them with. She works on vintage gloves, which are no longer intended to be worn, but intended to be collected and displayed.
