Soft Sculptures 2007

kneck tie wall hangings 2007

I was commissioned to make something out of kneck ties. Instead of opting for the obvious quilt, I chose to make these circular and textured wall hangings. They have a metal frame and are completely enclosed with an eyelet in the back for hanging.

Costume design for The Maze Project 2006

The Maze Project 2006

I was honored to design and construct the costumes for The Maze Project. The Maze Project was a weeklong performance piece by choreographer and installation artist Kristen Tsiatsios, which adorned the stacks of Seattle's Central Library in December of 2006.

For one hour each day, the public embarked on a self-guided tour traversing the terrain of the library and discovering performance - from dance to video to physical theater to music to a flock of knitters - in unexpected places along the way.
