ABSTRACT

The author writes about the project of needing to make "Gown" before she ready to embark upon its making so as to evoke the work into the world as it would be as a physical, material object. She could write this piece in fragments, construct paragraphs in isolation and then assemble them. Her primary aim is to unpick this unmade "Gown" for any understanding it might yield of her own psychosocial makeup within and through academic contexts. As of 2016, she will have been teaching in Higher Education for 30 years. The author is in a small office in the building where she teaches and she putting on and taking off an academic gown. She would think about creating anagrams from the word "imposter" and designing the motif from them. In fact, she was still fond of that idea.
