VIDEO PAINTING VIDEO

This is a time lapse video of a painting I created in my studio recently. I plan on using it as a projection for a dance performance piece.

WATCHING YOU WATCH ART

A frustrated security guard at an art museum had a dream to tell the world how stupid people could be looking (or not looking) at art.

This is that zine. I finally produced it. It's currently being prepared to be shipped across the country to a carefully curated group of art museums. The list is about 225 long. 

You can purchase the zine at my etsy shop.

DESIGN WORK

This is the beginning of a graphic design portfolio:

FAUX BAND POSTERS

Fictional bands. Fictional show. Fictional venue. Solid graphics.

I posted these all over Boston and sent a couple out to Providence and Portland.

I received many phone calls asking about Gingers.

TREK ACROSS MAINE TEAM SHIRTS:
The design featuring a cog and flight feather evoking dream catchers and punk rock:

I silk screened the design onto Surly merino wool bike jerseys:

FABRIC DESIGN

These are a handful of projects I have drafted and executed in fabric this season:


An apron with pockets and an adjustable neck for a baker friend with contrasting stripes and lined with a floral fabric:

The front:

The back: 

A detail of the pocket:

TRAVEL COSMETIC BAG

The lining is fully wipeable and detailed with jet planes.

DARK WORK OF WHIMSY UNICORN

This was my first experience making a unicorn costume. I was inspired to incorporate a couple notions of mythical horses:

the idea of a dark horse (a little known person/thing that emerges to prominence, a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed) 

a work horse (a hard working person) 

specifically, I loved the feathering and musculature of a Clydesdale.

Process:

HEAD: I cut up an old pair of spandex pants and draped them to make a hood which I attached the head to. The head itself has ears reinforced by cardboard, painted paper eyes, wrapped rope nostrils, and a mane of spray painted trash bags.

LEG WARMERS: I measured fabric to make bell bottom leg warmers and ruched strips of fabric to create volume.

TAIL: This is made with strips of spray painted trash bags that I attached to a fanny pack I had made previously.

SKIRT: Two skirts, one a-line, one circle. I attached these together at the waist, installed two zippers, and ruched a stiff gauzy fabric to create volume.

GLOVES: I traced my wrists, allowed for seam allowances, and cut an area to install zippers. I spray painted trims I had laying around and stitched them over one another. I thought these had a nice relationship to the leg warmers.
