“The imagination is boundless & infinite, a place where everything exists. I soon realized that it’s my inner world that nature has been imploring me to activate in relationship to her.”

This work encourages us to contemplate our current relationships with nature and fashion, and how they are intertwined. It is an exploration of collecting, building, honoring, remembering, and being in relationship with what we put on our bodies. Writing captures details and feelings, and helps me understand how my career in the luxury fashion industry was an important precursor to being able to create this work. Working in luxury fashion was a commitment to craftsmanship and detail. Garments are made of exquisite fabrics, prints are meticulously placed to accentuate the body, and color schemes are offered in breathtaking combinations. Now I am looking at nature through this exact lens of beauty and artistry that I honed in NYC. By honoring nature and craftsmanship through garment making, and detailing the relationship to nature in words, I hope to change the way we see clothing, and experience our natural surroundings.
