What I have been listening to...
DEATH
This is one of my favourite albums and lately I have been listening to it every day. Written in the 70’s, it is dark, moody and punk rock. The album is full of political songs and just questioning the way life is. During the process of making THREADED, I continually was pushing my creative boundaries and this album was my soundtrack for that process.
What I have reading...
DUNE
Not sure why I never read this before, it is definitely my type of book. With the reboot coming out next year, I figured it was time to dive into Frank Herbert’s world. It took me a minute to get into, in the beginning he just throws you into the Arteides world without explaining a lot, but after I got through that I was committed to the journey with Paul and Jessica.
What I have watching...
LAUREL CANYON
This doc was SO good. It is a beautiful history of artists that lived in Laurel Canyon in the 70’s. It talks with artists from The Mamas & The Papas, Linda Ronstadt, Buffalo Springfield, The Doors and so many more, about what it is was like to live in such proximity to the greatest artists of the decade.
What I have been doing...
CELEBRATING MY NEPHEWS BDAY
If 2020 had gone how we all planned I would have been at OOAK last week, this year I got to be here for my nephews birthday! He got to have a sleepover with Auntie; we played, took his new scooter to the skate park, made homemade pizza and watched cartoons, a perfect Birthday Celebration!
What I have been working on...
THREADED
I am SO in love with this Collection. Edition 3 was about me pushing my own creative boundaries. I wanted to expand my embroidery skills and practice designing the embroidery art around the existing piece. The future of fashion is working with what we have and this collection help me break into that role even more.
