As chosen to be apart of Ruben Selby's 2022 collection for fashion week with 6 other artists, our goal was to collectively share a space making artwork throughout a week long residency at the Copland gallery. At the end of the week the fashion show would exist with our work, where we as artists helped to curate the environment to which the clothes would exist.
