Fashioning Cascadia
mocc.pnca.edu/exhibitions/6767The Museum of Contemporary Craft (MOCC) asked me to help design and produce some additional fixtures for their show Fashioning Cascadia. Sarah Margolis-Pineo curated a cross-section of Pacific Northwest fashion designers and makers, including Adam Arnold, Anna Cohen, Liza Rietz, Emily Spivak, and more. MOCC approached me to design dress forms and a wall-hanging concept for the various garments on display. The system had to match the museum’s existing aesthetic, and be secure to prevent any theft. I worked with Sarah, as well as the Assistant Director of the museum, throughout the entire design process, fabrication and installation of the work.
After Fashioning Cascadia, Liza Rietz went on to co-open a store on E Burnside called SIX/SEVEN. She purchased some of the dress forms I created for this retail space.
