Disguised!, 1985

01

Artifact Overview

As a young industrial designer, Patricia Moore often pushed her superiors to design more accessibly. Looking to understand the challenges of an elderly person, Moore employed a professional makeup artist and transformed herself into an eighty-year-old woman using a latex mask and custom prosthetics. She then went out into the world. Later, she wrote about her experiences in her book Disguised!
