What’s happening…New mosaic textile series coming

During the past summer months, I’ve been working on my new mosaic textiles series inspired by Stevie Wonder’s album Innervisions. This album represents the 16th studio album in his illustrious careers. He played all the instruments on 6 out of the 9 tracks. Innvervisions covered a range of societal issues such as drugs, racism and inequality. Similarly this series is called Tales of the Innervision and covers a variety of topics dealing with the realization of Self.

I’ve selected and cut the fabrics. I’ve laid out the mosaics on all the textiles. Now, what’s left is sewing. I’ve finished sewing 2 out of the 5 pieces so far. I haven’t decided on a binding yet for this pieces. I’m leaning towards framing all of them. Thus far, I’ve completed and named 2 pieces –

Coming soon…NEW Surface Design Collection

I’m also working on my new Surface Design Collection ! Super excited about this since it’s been a few years since my last full collection, Future Code (2018). I’ve finished the images and created my first cutbook draft. Now, I need to narrow down the designs for the collection. I’m aiming for a collection of 25 images.

Once the 25 or so images are chosen, I will determine the colorways for each design. The designs and colorways make up my lookbook and narrative. The main difference of the cutbook and lookbook is important. While the cutbook is a tool for design selection, the lookbook tells the story of the collection.
