Inspired by an open call for collaborations by Ginger and the Ghost, I started a series of wearable art objects called "Dream Capes". Each cape is made for a specific performer in mind, and whenever possible the capes are gifted to the person who inspired it. The colors are psychedelic but the textures are meant to be organic, evoking elements of nature as diverse as chrysanthemum blossoms and bone marrow. Each cape is upcycled by hand with love from bed sheets that were salvaged from a house about to be demolished. Four capes have been completed and mailed to their muses so far, but three more are already in progress.
