II|The Work

The Work.

Every piece that exists. Every painting it came from.

Three pieces. Each begins as an original hand-painted artwork. The garment is built around the work — never the other way. None of these will be made again.

Behind|The Work

The painting becomes the garment.

Cut by hand. Painted by hand. Finished by hand. Nothing accelerates the process.
