The finished product. This is a whole garment knitted sweater. Knit on a Shima Seiki 8 gauge 2-SX. Printed with a flat bed garment knitting machine.

PEELING BACK THE LAYERS

This project was inspired by peeling paint and seeing what is underneath and finding more beauty. This is a jacquard woven tapestry. Woven with 30 different weave structure with four filling yarns. I first painted an image and then took it into photoshop and added in my Escher inspired pattern after slightly editing the painting in a few areas.

Transformation

Inspired by MC Escher, this piece transforms from one pattern to another. I wanted to create a graphic pattern that gradually changes into another, just as Escher's Metamorphosis works. This piece was submitted and accepted to be incorporated with the MC Escher College Slam night at the North Carolina Museum of Art.

TESTING PATTERN

DAHLIAS FOR DENALI

This is a woven sample of my pattern that was submitted for the Denali competition. The scale was quite a bit smaller than the original design was intended to be so details were lost when woven.

Wiley Wolf

This sweat-shirt was inspired by Kehinde Wiley. His use of pattern along with a strong focal point were my main inspiration. The patterns were created in CAD and put into straight repeats. Then, the patterns were sent to our Jacquard knitting machine at NCSU and knitted. After receiving my fabric off of the machine, I cut and constructed the sweat-shirt.

Do the Miley

This embroidery project was inspired by pop culture and the overload of emojis. I took one of the largest faces of pop culture, Miley Cyrus, and embroidered her face onto a sweatshirt. I wanted to convey the feeling of Warhol's pop art and combine it with different ways to embroider to create different textures.

Do the Miley

Inspired by pop culture and creating a portrait with embroidery, this piece shows the face of pop culture at the time, Miley Cyrus. I wanted to explore using different hand embroidery techniques to create different line qualities to make up the face. I also wanted to try and keep it simplistic as to not over do the color and texture to make it more consumer acceptable.

Egyptian Jewels

Inspired by Egyptian neckwear and how it shows the importance of the person wearing it, I created this kaftan in illustrator and photoshop.

Egyptian Jewels

These are two color ways of the kaftan. The first with more traditional Egyptian colors, which gives off a more costume-like vibe and the second color way to make the kaftan more applicable to the consumer base.
