The project begins with a focus on one word-parachute: a ‘soft’ body armature worn to float or fly from the view of the poet. An example of a threaded data path is that parachutes were used extensively in WW2 where military men, supplies and propaganda were dropped from planes to targets on the ground; parachutes were made of silk; women’s lingerie companies turned their production over to parachute manufacturing during the war effort; nylon was developed 
to replace Japanese imported silk so as to replace reliance on the enemy etc.
The project includes an annotated bibliography, video and photography as document to live performative events, a series of sewn garments from WW2 parachutes under the label ‘remove before flight’, and bookwork.
