Nature offers a less predictable and more organic path for artistic growth. This dress is not only wearable but also serves as a source of sustenance, requiring care and hydration. I cooked the mushrooms I grew and shared them with visitors.
The installations that I build for Museums often include a performance. I love to create sculptures, video and augmented reality, social software features for larger museum productions, festivals, fairs, government buildings and private companies.
