Inheritance

This collection is inspired by personal and global inheritance, considering epigenetic trauma. Created in a time of world wide fear and supply chain insecurity, I returned to my roots and sourced materials from my local fiber chain. I reused and recycled as much as I could, and using what I had on hand or what I could make by hand to visualize this collection.

Ceremony

This collection is inspired by Christian mysticism and the visions of Hildegard von Bingen-12th century abbess, linguist, author, astronomer, composer, and mathematician. The collection fuses a catholic aesthetic with traditional pagan folk patterns and motifs.

Sample-In 2 Dimensions

Sample- In 2 Dimensions is an artisan collection inspired by the process and craft of garment making. This theme is approached in two ways: 1) the actual sample as a test, and the waste created by it, and 2) the sample as a copy or knock-off of another's intellectual property.
