The Sketch
the skirt symbolizes a bird cage. Beautiful from the outside looking in, but a limiting enclosure for the birds.
the top draws from medieval armor designs and incorporates Japanese armor weaving technique, Kumihimo.
the skirt incorporates macrame weaving technique. The yarn is woven around thin recycled wire to create a structured macrame look.
the same material is used throughout the top in different forms to create visual interest.
