Height and Weight is composed of multiple bronze castings of Alexandra Rose's personal clothing items. The series dissects self-identity through the outward persona of attire. The use of material represents the weight attributed to clothing as a form of personal presentation, and the discomfort that can arise from the gravity of judgments based on how an individual presents themselves. The life-size bronze pieces are hung in the order of their height wherein each piece is suspended according to where it would hang upon the body of the artist. Prior to being cast in bronze, the clothing items were first glued to the body of the artist, exploring the theme of shedding to allow growth.
