Where We Meet @ Pucci Showroom Los Angeles

in

I had a show featuring my photographs of furniture by the great Jens Risom. Jens was one of the first designers to introduce Scandinavian design in the United States. 

I had such an amazing time working with Pucci. I love their furniture, and they really let me explore their furniture creatively; they let me show how I perceive the forms. 

My show will be up from August 1, 2016 - September 9th, 2016 at the Ralph Pucci Los Angeles Showroom at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood. Afterwards, my images will show in the Ralph Pucci Miami Showroom during Art Basel Miami! 

Opening Reception

August 11th, 2016, 1 - 5pm 

Pacific Design Center, 8687 Melrose Ave b203, Los Angeles, CA 90069

Graduation Show @ Art Center College of Design

in

For my graduation show at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, I wanted to display the abstract landscapes that I created in a clean and simple way that would be easy to set up and take down, but still would be visually striking. The clothes layered behind the triptych were all hand dyed by myself, and I wanted it to emulate the stacking shadowy effect that actual mountains have as you look at them in the distance. The further the mountain, the more hazy the silhouette! 

I wanted to further continue the idea of shadows, and keep with the idea of everything being layered on their own plane, which is why my logo/name was applied onto acrylic glass. The 3 business cards furthers the idea of the triptych, and I displayed my portfolio and 3 booklets with different assorted works.
