International Justice Robe
Terry Duffy, painting with photomontage printed on cotton twill, satin silk, 2020.
What images of international justice do you see depicted on the robe? Are they reflective of aesthetics or counter-aesthetics of international justice? Do you believe a judge at the International Criminal Court would wear this robe and why?
This robe invites viewers to consider the significance of the colours used, the images that have been selected, and the power conferred by wearing a ceremonial robe, vestment, or gown.
