Station-Air

Little Projects : 

HAKO / is a little universe for

the nomadic woman . 

who escapes /to find/to discover/

feel unique / beautiful

tomorrow I present my Hako

I admit I am a little nervous

However I am happy that I made it this far

so let's see what happens! 

HAKO / box process

after my second interview I was instructed to design

a box that symbolized/represented anthropologie

... 

I call it Hako

Cosmic-Pickle Construction (part 1)

Meet my Cacti: I call them Pickles

They need new homes!

I have been inspired by 

 succulent micro-cosmos

and now I want to build!

At first, I thought about using my shoe:

you see...it recently broke...

...and when it did, I thought of Dali's

shoe sculpture. I feel inclined to make 

use of the thing that once made 

me feel beautiful/sexy/feminine

However, I do not wish to revive 

the shoe as an object for beauty...

...but rather, I'd like to construct an apocalyptic acolyte: 

"the end of human use, the rise of green agitation"

...Bear with me here for now, I am leaning towards

Lebbeus Woods and his  parasitic-architectural 

interventions:

Of course...this stems far from 

the original, happy house hunting 

for the Pickles.  Therefore, 

allow me to present something 

that I think I might like to make:

 ....This, I hope, will allow 

the Shoe Intervention

to evolve on it's own...!

TO BE CONTINUED!

Madras (draft mag)

This is what I've got so far. A few super prototype pieces and supplemental essays I've written about textile and color inspiration from my motherland, El Salvador. I also draw a lot of inspiration from the artists at Anthropologie. Keep posted as I develop more little quirky beads!

bead ready...

Madras: a colorful textured fabric

Its a wonderful, exotic word that, I believe might suit the kind of 'intimate' architecture I am beginning to brew. All summer, I sketched out little contraptions fabricated by textures, colors, lines and simple shapes. In my head they seemed to braid themselves into little colorful knots. The title of this upcoming collection was inspired by a Lucky Brand shirt I recently purchased: a graphic tee with a peacock and the following words, "Madras" . For now, I'm going to keep this title. I'm attracted to it and challenged by the potential prestige it might bring. I'll eventually post a sample book of what is to come, though I seriously need to push myself! Let's see !

strings of color

About a year or so ago, I went to Guatemala with my mom. We collected a few knick knacks, drank tons of coffee and saw many beautiful landscapes. One of the treasures I gathered was from a native indian who sold me 100 hand-woven bracelets! I decided to turn it into a necklace by gathering the ends together! And there is the result! (the other necklaces you see were also made by me) more to post!
