Rachel Wright is an American artist who got her Fine Art degree in 1991.
Her work looks like it draws upon early anatomical drawing and New Age crap. The result is beautiful diagrams of the body transferred onto silk dresses by means of appliqueing fabric in the shapes of organs and circulatory systems. They're over lapped and the textures are interesting and the line formality lends to the pieces a great deal.
Some of the dresses look like Pagan diagrams of the body and others look like cut-aways of the dress and skin to reveal the insides. Others look like maps and theories.
'String of Pearls' refers to the spinal column
Pnuema is a dress with lungs on it:
Pneuma (πνεύμα) is an ancient Greek word for "breath," and in a religious context for "spirit" or "soul."
(good old wikipedia there.)
