This piece was created as an exploration of wearable art. Created from playing cards and weaved together to fashion a belt the piece represents the adaptability of materials as well as the strength of individual pieces when assembled together.
Stitched with Prayer
Working with SeventhStreet Studios, these shirts were developed for the non-profit, The Lord's Quilters. The organization, who's volunteers sew healing quilts for those in need, requested shirts for their volunteers and to sell in support of the non-profit. Reflecting the organization's values and craft these t-shirts were developed to showcase the importance of the organization within the community.
Sweatshirt Backpack
The "Sweatshirt Backpack" was created as from a need to carry around less items as a student. Constantly stuffing my back with numerous items of clothing transitioning to and from class became a hassle. So how can you combine two into one? The arms were creating into straps and the body of the hoodie folded up and the pockets formed into carrying spaces. The hood then rested overtop to protect your books and school supplies from falling out or becoming ruined from debris. The "Sweatshirt Backpack," may not be the end all be all for convertible fashion, but it may be a step in the right direction for students looking to pack light.
