About

Philosophy

Considered Objects began with a collection of my grandmother's kimonos, passed down to me. Reworking the silk by hand became the beginning of an ongoing textile practice in New York City. I'm interested in how textiles can carry memory, history, and a sense of where we came from.

Working from my studio, I use antique silk kimonos, reclaimed tetiles, and deadstock fabrics to create one-of-one garments, accessories, and textile works. I work with what is already there, preserving details of the original textiles while finding new ways to use them through reconstruction, hand-stiotching, and small-scale production.

Process

The process is rooted in hand-stitching, reconstruction, and experimentation. I follow each textile's character and leave traces of the process behind, from raw edges and visible stitches to small details that reveal themselves over time. Because I make each piece by hand and materials are scarce, I release work in small, limited runs or make it to order.

Select works are occassionally availalbe through select retail shops. Most pieces are avaialble directly through the studio and the online shop.
