The first piece to be born of this year was a commissioned collaborative garment with my partner’s incredible vision that is A NEW CROSS.
I packed my machine in it’s travel case along with some books and pieces of inspiration and passed two hours in the car on my way to a paradise of fruit trees and bird songs just outside of cold rainy Bogotá.
This piece was a new challenge for me in many ways. I wanted to look at the male figure and see within it the same energy and divinity I see in that of the feminine.
I am attracted to the androgyny of this figure and the future of gender identity that it speaks to.
I felt incredibly inspired and at peace working in this place amongst the trees. Which has provoked a permanent change of scenery as my partner and I work on building our home and studio in this paradise. Still not too far removed from the art world and friends in Bogotá.
