Project Z is an ongoing experiment in making and a reflection on the relationships that stem from sustained conversation between maker and wearer. By centering dialogue in the creation of one-of-a-kind pieces, I’m exploring the practice of garment making as an intimate social platform.
In developing Project Z, I conducted a series of in-depth interviews with nine participants with the goal of creating an article of clothing in dialogue with each subject. Upon completion, the participants were given their respective garments to keep and wear. The resulting conversations, design research, construction process, fittings, and finished garments were compiled into an artist’s book published by Open Projects Press in 2018.
