To Love is to Lose, To Lose is to Exist
This collection is meant to be a hazy memory. Something half lost and reconstructed. A recollection of moments coded and arranged on the body.
The integral themes to this body of work are love, intimacy, youth, memory, and loss. And the central inspirations: the girl, the woman, and the muses. I aim to represent grief as it is: an ever-present entity. The act of concealment refers to the perception of one’s grief by others as well as time’s effect on the grieving self.
I address the self as layered and fragmented through a material exploration of the connection between hard and soft structures: where woven meets knit, and where knit meets metal. And the more poetic recollections of loss are addressed through a process of encoding written text into a fabric through knit stitch patterning, creating a fabric of memory. The silhouettes themselves take shape from utilitarian silhouettes juxtaposed with historical undergarment inspiration forming a romantic utility.
