A wearable pair of boots inspired by Rene Magritte's painting "The Red Model" (1935). After making a mold of my foot and scanning the mold with a 3D scanner, the file was brought into Geomagic, and edited to create another mold which was then filled with dragon skin and dye. The cast was then sewn onto a pair of boots.

A ceremonial costume that pays homage to the crucial milestone that is the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Using modern, geometric furniture as inspiration, white oak and mahogany wood pieces were developed then hand & machine carved.
