Tapestry 1 - Tote 1/9

In collaboration with Sean Crim, he created three tapestries for an art show he was in, Ordinary Objects at Jac Forbes Contemporary, in May of 2023. We decided to take one of the tapestries and turn them into totes bag for people to style, use and wear their own way. The concept of creating a piece of art from the artist studio to having it displayed in an art show to completely deconstructing and recreating the experience and purpose of the piece gives a new meaning to the piece itself and creates a harmonious relationship of art and fashion. Seeing this piece as cycle of life and rebirth into a new life just as Budding Rose enters this new chapter diving into and exploring the relationship of art and fashion.
