'In 1998 Christopher Wool and I created an exhibition at 303 Gallery, when it was located on East 6th Street. The exhibition combined works by both of us and one collaborative photograph The photograph we created together was based on an image from Slides of a Changing Painting. Chris printed the fabric for the dress, using the rollers that he had been using to create his paintings, and I sewed the dress. At first I thought that we might present the dress on a real tree, cut down and brought into the gallery. So we went with a chain saw to the woods behind Elizabeth Murray's house in Pennsylvania, cut a rather large and very heavy tree, and hauled it to New York, but it was unsuccessful. We ended up taking the dress back to those woods and photographing it on an existing tree.' (Gober in Robert Gober: Sculptures and Installations 1979-2007, Basel 2007, p. 200)
