Thank you to the attentive audience who joined us at MOORE to hear the dynamic panel discussion focused on fashion branding. I was humbled to share my thoughts on sustaining creativity while balancing the demands of building a professional career in the arts. In addition to the lecture, I was happy to supplement the experience by exhibiting the work of a recent project: SURFACE featuring Julia Blaukopf’s photographic wallpaper panels and canvas scrims documenting my collection while raising funds for the Reading Viaduct Project. Sharing this site-specific installation contributed volumes to expressing my artistic path as a sculptor and textile artist while sharing the aesthetic of “collaboration” and of “cross-discipline” while thinking “social impact.” All integral components to my creative philosophy.
