ON PROCESS I began creating a wearable work by adding masks to a blank canvas with various layers, and peeling back those layers through destruction. This wearable work made from Canvas 1 wraps the body tightly on one side, but extends in a frame to hide the body’s true shape on the other side.  Just as layers are added by different people and memories through time, I had different non-architecture students add whatever they wanted to Canvas 2.


The wearable work made from Canvas 2 wraps around the body, falling loosely with gravity. The piece extends beyond the canvas, forming around the body’s neck and shoulders.
