When I saw these photos, I thought someone had mixed fabric with nature to make these beautiful silky looking dresses.

Then I continued reading the article and realized that these “architectural garments” as the artist, Ron Isaacs calls them, are all made from birch wood and acrylic paint.

Isaacs uses an additive process of just adding on layers, which can mean using up several hundred pieces of wood to create these pieces.
