Cathy, with dark curly short hair wearing a paper painters’ suit, sits at a desk and looks over her shoulder at the camera. There is text printed on the back of the suit which reads: BFA, I had the choice (privilege) - most don't, $150 a month for 10 years could buy 50 new bicycles, or a new car, or pay off this education. The image is in black and white. — Grad Suit, paper painters' suit with text worn for graduation, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Halifax, December 1984

Grad Suit (1984)

Grad Suit (1984) was a work I made to wear during my BFA graduation from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design.

The back reads:
BFA, I had the choice (privilege) - most don't.

$150 a month for 10 years could buy 50 new bicycles, or a new car, or pay off this education.
