My CNC knitting research at MIT with the Self Assembly Lab x Ministry of Supply creating sweaters that with robot and heat are custom tailored to the body called Active Tailoring. The research was presented on Fast Company articulating our plans for 2019 with mass customization of knitted garments.

Here are some behind the scenes sets and clothes from Matrix Resurrections that I created. I worked between the set design department and the costume department to create custom textiles for the spaces and people of the new Zion, Ayo. I had a studio on set where I had made most of the textiles and some I made off site in industrial workshop spaces.

This a closer look at the rainbow chain collection, made with yarn scrapes, aluminum chains, and custom engraved carribeaners. We are sold out here but you can still find some chains on Cozy Palace

The set department made me a loom and I tapestry hand wove materials for Ayo.

These are some hand embroidery pieces Ive made. They are inspired by the healing of embroidery and the rainbow visions for the lush jungle earth we are saving.

Self-Assembly Lab, MIT + Ministry of Supply + Hills Inc. + U. Maine + Iowa State U.

MIT’s Self Assembly Lab and MIT-born apparel company Ministry of Supply have developed Climate-Active Textiles that continually adapt to temperature changes to keep us comfortable in ever-changing environments. This new type of textile can reversibly transform its porosity for breathability, thickness for insulation and shape for compression or fit. This technology was developed with support from the federal non-profit Advanced Functional Fibers of America (AFFOA).

I made a recycled hand made macrame fabric net at polygon stage at wonderfruit festival 2019

Built the Solar Stage at the Wonderfruit Festival in Thailand. The Solar Stage is designed by Gregg Fleishman using a remix of pieces from the Temple of Whollyness made at Burning Man 2013 in collaboration with Lightning Clearwater and ‘Syn’ Melissa Barron Clearwater. I made the shade quilts with Bunnie Reiss and the Shady Ladies in the Temple of Wholeness at Burning Man 2013 and reinstalled them at the Solar Stage in 2019 in Thailand. The Solar Stage was the main stage and many amazing artist preformed there including :

I collaborated with Olivia Steele an amazing artist with a focus in neon to create a recycled plastic shoe for Art Basel Miami 2018. I worked to develop this prototype on the stoll knitting machine inspired by moire, oceans, and keeping it in the present for our planet. These are a prototype of a shoe and an exploration of an idea.

I did an artist residency with seaweed rope knits and plant wovens at Can7, an artist residency, hotel, commune on the island of Formentera, by Ibiza, in spain.

Active Patterned Scarves were exhibited at SIGGRAPH 2019 in Los Angeles in a collaboration between Self-Assembly Lab MIT and Ministry of Supply. 36 scarves were produced on an industrial flat bed knitting machine, then activated with heat through custom, robotically drawn patterns. The structure of the knit morphs in a non-reversible response to the temperature, revealing customizable colors and patterns in the scarf. This technique could be used as an in-store experience to create customized and personalized apparel and footwear. This project is part of research on Active Textiles developed under a grant from AFFOA in collaboration with Hills Inc., University of Maine, Iowa State University, Ministry of Supply and MIT. I focused on the knit development of the active textiles with design and programming of the weft knitting for the exhibit, more press here .

This is an ecosystem of textiles juxtaposed with nature furthering the cultural camouflage vision. The textiles are mostly 3D knits, chords, and arm knit panels. This is was shot in the land of Garbicz Festival in collaboration with photographer Tyler Goldenflower wearing BeGoldish.

I arm knit rope chord I made that I installed within the Bakery studio in Berlin. Here are some images of me pre install with the rope knits.

My senior thesis collection I developed at RISD textiles exploring cultural camouflage and contrast in lived, projected and remixed environments and how we as humans use textiles on the body to camouflage or contrast in the world similar to animal biomimicry. I utilized industrial knitting, machine knitting, digital embroidery, digitally printed fabric, and screen printed. This collection is meant to elevate the cultures of the world blending aesthetics, patterns and materials from the world crew.

Designed and built an inflatable and tensile net structure in collaboration with PneuHaus at Burning Man 2015. We worked with Incord netting and inflatable columns as structure. We were commissioned by Joe Gebbia of Airbnb to make this piece. I focused mostly on the textile and the netting design of the structure.

Tech Style Haus is a technical textile house designed to be the most sustainable house utilizing textiles in every element of the design for the Solar Decathlon Europe in Versailles 2014 . Tech style Haus was made in collaboration with RISD, Brown University, and Erfurt University, I focused on making a cnc knit fully fashioned curved wall interior, stretched between armatures that can be zipped on and zipped off so you can change the density of the insulation of the wall, wash, and change the color of you knit walls. I worked mostly with Stoll America, Vitra France, 3M fibers, and Transformit. I worked on this for two years during school, I minored on textile architecture because of this project and focused on zero waste fully fashioned knit architecture.

Bjarne Melgaard capsule collection was creative directed by Babak Radboy, Lead Designer Gerlan Marcel of Gerlan Jeans, and myself as the textile designer. We interpenetrated Bjarne’s paintings and visions into contemporary fine art streetwear. This is part of the collection shot in W magazine styled by Avena Gallagher who I also worked for as an assistant stylist. The collection did not go to retail and was terminated by unknown circumstances.

I worked with Kuna Prints a vegan indegenious textile shoe company to source the Mola textiles made by the Kuna women of the San Blas Islands. I went to the Islands to source the materials and work with the indigenous women in community programs and artesian collectives. My relationship to the San Blas and the Kuna artisans started my textile journey.
