my first post of 2018! belated new year wishes to all the krossbreed lovers. hope everyone's having a good start to the year so far. i'm back in providence for my final semester at risd. i still can't believe that it'll all be over in five months. but until then, there's loads to do. as always, will be sharing updates and projects, both in and out of risd.
the 2018 edition of the textiles graduate biennial show opened yesterday at the sol koffler graduate student gallery. titled 'the whole nine yards', the exhibition showcases works from both the first and second year textile grad students. there's lots to see, both finished pieces and process works, giving a little glimpse into what happens in our studios.
selected works for the exhibition include my final collection from last semester. titled 'captain emirates' (hah!), the collection takes inspiration from various male archetypes , as well as male representations in the uae from over the years. for more details on the project, check out my previous post here.
thank you to everyone that came down to yesterday's opening. it was great seeing a busy gallery space and hearing feedback about everyone's works. i'm really glad that people are responding positively towards my work. gives me comfort that i'm on the right track towards my final thesis project.
if you missed last night's opening, and are based in providence, the exhibition runs until 18 feb 2018. the sol koffler gallery is opened daily from 12 - 8 pm. more details are on the exhibition poster above (which i designed myself. the graphic is an ode to one of my favourite films, mary poppins, as well as the various rejected yet humorous show titles that didn't make it).
