CNIDARIA

The CNIDARIA Collection was inspired by my studies of Phylum Cnidaria (jellyfish) whose complex life-cycle involves several different stages - Larva, Polyp, Ephyra, and Medua. These wearable art pieces, each of which represents a specific stage in the life cycle, were created from thin,polyester lining fabrics, which were then heat-set using various resist methods for varying effects.  Please click through the slideshow below to view images of this collection.
