Personal Statement

I am passionate about creativity in the commercial environment and intellectually stimulated by new developments in all areas of Fashion, Design, Interiors, Branding and Marketing, continually seeking to identify trends for commercial advantage.

As an artist I have always been fascinated by the exciting juxtapositions, color harmonies and aged patinas that the randomness of urban decay throws-up. I explore and harness photography, graphics, surface design, print and fabrics creating meaningful and relevant fashion collections. Breathing new life into the discarded and the mundane elevating them to the desirable.

Title Department Catalog Term

Description

This advanced course focuses on the making of things through the use of drawing, garment, and sculpture and its use in lifestyle. Outings to a variety of alternative sites are the central part of this class, including thrift stores, warehouses, flea markets, and the rural surroundings. Students investigate the idea of 'Usefulness' as well as function, content, appropriate design, and audience. Emphasis is placed on challenging the narrative definition of 'The art of making things.'
