Tandem Repeat, 2023. Art Furniture made from white pine and second-hand clothing.

Clothing Sculpture ~ Art Furniture

I’m very happy to share my first art-furniture commission. These three clothing sculptures serve as bases for a glass-topped table. The color scheme was inspired by California’s legendary sunsets, but through the lens of memory, fantasy and photo manipulation.

Clothing Sculpture: To Reshuffle the Sun – The hill-shaped lawn in Travers Park covered with second-hand clothing, arranged like a giant color wheel but with a dark center and a light outer edge. 100 feet wide.

Clothing Sculpture: To Reshuffle the Sun, 2023

I was awarded two arts grants in 2021. With support from New York Foundation of The Arts and Queens Council on The Arts, I created a sculpture made from wood and thousands of second-hand garments. The clothing was sourced from the local community during the pandemic and is a tribute to the people of New York City.
