In 2011, I was commissioned by Joyce, a high end clothing retailer based in Asia, to create a series of work for their growing art collection. They display contemporary artists’ work in a number of their stores, and I was excited by the opportunity to have my work included in their collection. The result of this commission was my Anatomical Knit Hood Series. This past May, Joyce decided to debut my work at one of their flagship stores for the 1st ever Art Basel Hong Kong. I have to say, I’m honored and delighted. As an artist it’s always thrilling to see your work out of the studio and existing in an actual living, breathing space. I’ve always found clothing retail spaces (and art fairs for that matter) to be both beautiful and complicated; eliciting desire in the spaces between fiber, the body, and commerce. And given that all those themes are present in this series, I think this is a poignant venue in which to showcase the work. See for yourself:
