CONCEPTUAL : SELECTED WORK
Banner
The hooked banner is inspired by primitive rug hooking, but is truly an opportunity for community art. Constructed using plastic safety or utility fencing, a large mesh is hooked by the public using 2nd hand or donated polyester garments.
​
Fabrics can be added in consultation with the artist. When complete, the entire construction is hoisted in a public space, ideally hanging under a bridge, or under a metropolitan overhang for the completed fabric mosaic.
jape vuice
With the outlandish assortment of vape juices on the market, any flavor is an option. Jape Vuice sees the creation of E-juice and E-liquids for those that really want to give up the habit. Dog shit, Burning Rubber, Litter Box are just the beginning...
MUSTLE
The Mustle is a device worn to enhance the male silhouette. It's intention is to both support overlaying garments and create more volume.
Ties, lacings, cable ties (zap straps), or baling wire may be available to add to the inside of the structure so that the roundness of the form can be adjusted, creating an even more dramatic silhouette.
​
Wealthy men-about-town may own at least one style, but the most elite will likely collect many different styles, which can be worn separately or together to achieve their desired shape.
​
The fabricator of the Mustle, or Mustlesmith shares talent with farriers, blacksmiths and primitive hookers, demonstrating abilities with a wide range of materials and fabrics and joining and fastening techniques.
