Let’s Wrap it Up
This image is from my 2020 Christmas card. I wanted to find a way to make something creatively inspiring from the packing materials I acquired during quarantine. I took the piles of paper and plastic from shipped items, sat at my sewing machine, and just shoved them through, letting the final result happen freely and organically. Making this dress energized me. I enjoyed the process of creation. I also enjoyed collaborating with my friend photographer Joe Howell on the photo shoot, which took place on a cold December morning in front of Kirkland Hall at Vanderbilt University.
