Behind the Scenes of my Grad

Front of my Grad dress


Back of my Grad dress - the trim is made from my painted silk


The fibre majors made our own shawls. This one was made from my hand woven silk bamboo, dyed, and printed with the imagery from "The Three Graces vs. The Three Fates"

Photos of my grad piece
30ft of printed silk organza hung from the ceiling which leads to an antique bench which I have reupholstered using fabric that I wove (silk bamboo fibres)and printed. Seated on the bench is an embroidered silk lotus slipper accompanied by a sewing kit. The imagery is of various lotus slippers on the bench, and the scroll-like hanging is of the x-ray of a bound foot. I like to work with the idea of hiding the ugly behind something beautiful or as I like to title it "Covering up the Ugly Truth with the Beautiful, Embellished and Lavish".
