Finlandia University is hosting its Alumni Exhibition at the Finlandia University Gallery this month. Two of the sculptures from my Necktie Maedeup series were included in this show. After graduating from Finlandia in 2011 with my BFA, I had not returned to Michigan's Upper Peninsula till now. It was so wonderful to catchup with friends, professors and classmates while experiencing all the snow in the U.P.!
During my undergraduate studies I experimented with constructing garments out of neckties. I made vests, hair pieces, a hat, and a dress out of neckties. Many of the community members and professors were excited to see how my work with neckties had progressed into sculptural art forms.
Here is a flashback of one of the necktie pieces from my time at Finlandia. Thanks to Stephanie Trevino for the photo.
