Welcome to America ~ Gallery Guide
Created from wedding gowns, dresses, waist skirts, various undergarments and adorned
with stories told to artist Carol Hamoy by women émigrés (and their descendants). Welcome to America documents the long, arduous journeys of many courageous women. The narratives (dating from the nineteenth century through 1992) bear similarity to experiences shared by all despite economic status, ethnicity or even gender.
