Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to make a post to update you on how my first residency is going. So far it's amazing. It's rained a lot here, which is my favorite environment in which to create art. When it's nice out, I take walks to get inspiration from the beautiful gardens on campus. There's also beehives and a Zen meditation space. Both the staff and other artists are so nice and helpful. We share meals together every day and talk about how our creative processes are going. I've made a lot of progress with my art and my sustainable fashion brand. On Wednesday, we'll be having a workshop where I'll be teaching how to make recycled clutches from plastic and paint. Im super excited as I haven't taught a group in a while. I've also been thinking about how to make my factory made clothing more sustainable. I've decided to use natural materials and have my products made in the USA. For my handmade clothing items, I'm using thrifted or repurposed fabrics. These are all steps to reduce my store's carbon footprint. I've come to realize, being human just isn't earth friendly. However, there are ways we can make the world a little better- without making ourselves go nuts. You can see my work from the residency under the "Slow Fashion" tab of this site. I also have more announcements to come. Thanks for reading and see you next time!
