both wearable artefacts and soft sculpture — intermittent releases, made-to-order pieces, and a high focus on detailing. an emphasis on design meant for life. wearables and objects are released at a glacial pace, reflecting the deliberate levels of detail possessed in each. locally sourced and often from discarded end-of-run materials, items are intensely unique and intimately personal. non-gendered, non-bodied, the archive fervently pursues the calico.whore mantra: to construct a garment is to build a home.
