Somewhere off the highway

Here is the fall lookbook I shot a few weeks back with fellow artist Aaron Westerberg. Shot in the images are: The Jolie Jumper, The Drape Cape in Camel Wool, The Cognac Poncho, Woven Cocoon Dress, Modern Scarf 1& The Gold Dust Stevie Cape.

Part of what I love the most about being an artist is drawing in and collaborating with other artists of like mind. After galavanting around Spain and Mexico this summer, I began to crave the wild yonder and glamping of California. There were fires around Ojai so it felt like a necessity to get out of the general vicinity. With a Jeep overflowing with paint supplies, yarn balls, camping cuisine and woven artwork, the team ventured out towards the Sierra’s. My word, shooting at sunset here was unreal. I could have easily woven all day staring at these mounds of deep red volcanic Earth with that light dancing the way it did. We had plans to shoot around dawn as well but the 50+ mph winds had something else in mind. A giant dust storm rolled through before dawn and literally blew us out of the tent. Stakes, bedding, even my own weight couldn’t keep half of the tent down so we packed it up in the haze and departed. I inhaled so much dust and dirt it left me very ill for about a week + but… “All for the sake of art “ is what I like to say and live for.
