Turning 30!

It sure is lovely to have a pal who's a photographer and is also willing to snap photos at your birthday party! Thanks Emily!! 

 

I didn't plan on having glow sticks at my 30th birthday party, we just found them in a cupboard, I swear!

Emily also set up a photo corner, which was pretty fun!

 

Please take a moment to check out Emily's beautiful work!!

She does it ALL and I really looking forward to future projects with her!

Knit Virus

A while ago I knit this "virus" for my friend, artist Caitlin Berrigan. She instructed me on the structure/geometry/math of a Hepatitus C virus (individual pentagons combine with triangle shaped 'flare ups' which make a geodesic dome...) and I took it from there. She wanted a wearable garment with a hood and I think the result is strangely futuristic and fashionable...

Thehepatitis C virus is externalized in this wearable garment knit into a pattern of the virus’s protein structure. (Hand knit silk & wool.
