MY WORK
The Toy Top Ruse
This soundsuit is suggestive of African ceremonial costume and Parisian high fashion.
One suit is topped by a metal armature, somewhat like an open-framework birdcage, which functions as a display stand for a knickknack collection of painted ceramic birds. (Tigers stitched into the body suit lend a disconcerting cat-and-the-canary air.)
Twigs
This is a suit of armor made of twigs.

"Its just organic and anything can spark it. Maybe a certain pattern in a textile will start a shape and then its just exploring."
