Transformation Through Textiles

I've always wanted to capture the spirit of transformation through textiles.  When I created textile books with African garments and fabrics last year, I wondered who wore them, what occasion they were worn and how they were made.  With those fabrics and books, I concentrated on historical, cultural, and social aspects of textiles.  

This year, it is about "soul sewing." I will use the most symbolic garment of love -- the wedding dress and transform wedding dresses into stories of joy, happiness, sorrow, forgiveness and all the emotions that come with being in love.
