2022: mOb Studio, Richmond, VA
This cardboard sculpture was created in collaboration with four other artists. It was on display during First Friday in Richmond.
2022: Doha, Qatar
One womenswear look from my Speculative History- Design Collection was selected to be displayed at the VCU Qatar campus. This look includes a hand knit tulle vest with an attached wool crepe skirt, a cashmere and cotton turtleneck, and bike shorts. The turtleneck and shorts were hand dyed with coffee and the wool crepe was hand dyed with black beans. I also recreated this look in CLO 3D, which was also shown in Qatar.
2022: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
For my Speculative History- Design collection, I constructed two full looks, and both were selected to be shown at the annual VCU fashion show. There was one menswear look and one womenswear look.
2021: Altria Theatre, Richmond, VA
I was a selected designer in the House of Havoc fashion show, put on for VCU Homecoming Week. I created one look for the show, inspired by the Renaissance. It included a detachable skirt.
2021: Studio Two Three, Richmond, VA
My work was hand selected to be displayed among other designers in this show. The focus was upcycled denim. I created a denim jacket in 2020 out of four pairs of jeans, and it was selected for this show.
2021: The Anderson, Richmond, VA
I created this quilt with three other artists. After it was displayed at this exhibit, it was donated to a patient at the VCU Massey Cancer Center.
2020: Virtual Gallery
At the beginning of the pandemic, artists were called to apply to a virtual exhibition to display work they had created within the last year. I was one of the artists selected to display my work. It was placed in a virtual gallery, where viewers could toggle around a virtual room and view each work.
2019: The Anderson, Richmond, VA
This piece was selected to be projected on the side of an art gallery for one night in 2019. It is a romper made out of a thrifted bed sheet and thrifted ribbon. At the end of each piece of ribbon, I melted different colored crayons so that when the wearer walked over paper, they would leave lines marking the path they had walked.
This romper was also displayed on the home page for VCU Art Foundation, the art program that all freshman must complete. It is also a page that is popular among prospective students who are interested in the art program.
