Emergence is an installation inspired by the desire for the human touch to break digital limitations. An organic model automated for fabrication has lost its complexity through systemization. An array of threads reconstructs the body only to be seen from indirect viewpoints.

Size 2 Dress
The inspiration for this dress is based off personal data being harvested and exploited in a pattern engineered to emphasize the curves of each individual body. The textile questions the judgement and efficacy of algorithmic systems by calling for intervention in its process.
Its design is generated by algorithms that mimic cellular growth, a second-skin fabric growing root-like over the curves of a unique body. A calculated best-fit line cuts the fabric, with the remainder discarded. However, the resulting fabric will cease to exist as a whole without its support.
A dress simulation from CLO3D was brought into Grasshopper to determine mesh curvature and algorithmically generate a design for laser cut. Interfacing and 3D printed textures unify the textiles as a whole again. The textiles were assembled in a no-sew dress construction by heat forming.

INDESTRUCTIBLE AURA
Echoing the unforgiving, isolated landscapes of the Oregon coast, Indestructible Aura converts antagonistic energy into discipline and extreme physicality to attain equanimity.
The anchoring pulse of incognito stamina insists upon a brutalist grit, shoring up an inward energetic powerhouse for evading passivity as adversity turns into fuel and solitude into strength.
