The Artist
Andrea was always good at becoming what the room needed. Color taught her what she needed.

Dash-dyeing is a somatic creative practice that teaches people how to feel, and lets them wear it.

The Look
Clothing made by someone who gets itchy: fewer seams, no tags and soft, flowing fabric you wear your way.
Transformation One
Material
Powdered pigment becomes abstract art on fabric. I decide in the moment where the color goes, and the dye decides the rest.
Transformation Two
Personal
Fabric becomes something that changes how you move, how you express yourself and how you experience your body.
