Sidne K. Gard

A Hard Pill to Swallow

A series of three color photographs depicting the artist wearing an orange and white dress resembling a pill bottle. They have on a matching white hat that is shaped like the cap of a pill bottle. The first photo they are facing to the left of the screen and have their body pulled inward, not wanting to acknowledge being looked at and trying to make themself smaller. In the second, they are staring into the camera holding up a small plastic pill bottle in their hand. The final shows them looking up and to the right while leaning forward with an annoyed expression. Artist Sidne K. Gard took the photographs, as well as fully sewed and designed the outfit.
