Ode to Intention 

I designed, prepared the textiles, constructed the garments and photographed this body of work. Inspired by sustainable textile practices, I used second hand materials such as salvaged denim and paint to create "one-of-a-kind" textiles. I created this collection to highlight discarded materials in the realm of fashion. My sustainable designs seek to challenge the conventional notions of modern fast fashion.

Sashiko Supplies

Below are links to supplies from A Thread and Needle

You can find supplies at other sites. I listed links to online shopping at the end of this post. 

Sashiko supplies can be found on Amazon. After researching, I do not suggest purchasing kits or printed fabric from Amazon as reviews communicate poor quality. For our class, I purchased the printed fabric, thread and stencils from A Thread and Needle

Give me your hand, sister | Portmanteau Project Space | Dayton, OH

Exhibition Statement

The phrase give me your hand, sister implies a hand reaching for help, or a hand offering care, a gesture that goes both ways. These works were made in with and for my three sisters: plaster casts of their shoulders and felted coats. My sisters and I made the felt together. Felting requires rubbing and compressing loose wool fibers together with soap and water to create a sturdy textile that has no clear warp or weft and is very hard to tear. I eventually made the felt into coats for each of my three sisters. The essay Tears/Tears was written in collaboration with my sister Lindsay Mailloux, reflecting on the homonym tears.
