My very first museum exhibition.
My work will be on view in my hometown of London Ontario Canada at Museum London @museumlondon as a part of their "Fashion: Grit, Glamour and Guts" Exhibition, running till October 26 2025

I have one full mannequin look on display (artist plaque and all) entitled "Pour Your Heart Out" 
It is a piece I've been working on all winter & spring. It is about the conflicts of decision making, internally and externally. My write ups on last slide.
It also just looks cool too. 😜
-
I also have a booth in the gift shop for the duration of the exhibit with @_deathworks tees and jackets for sale! Woo!

UPCLOSE on the DeathWorks 1of1 Mac Miller Balloonerism Jacket
-
Cut and sewn from scratch by me from thrifted denim jeans.
patchwork face based off Alim Smith's (@yesterdaynite) original artwork on the official album cover.
face alone took 21 hours to do, I used 13 different colors of fabric, 11 colors of thread, and 3 types of stitches to make the wonky, jagged, fabric ensemble visage.
rest of the jacket is entirely covered in sashiko さしこ japanese hand stitching, over a cloudy sky fabric layered on top of the left over face fabrics and then hand distressed to reveal the layers and colors.
mac miller on the back in blue dyed embossed cow hide leather.

Fyi this project is just fan art, and isn't made in affiliation with anyone in the Mac camp! However!! As most of y'all know, I am a massive Mac Miller fan. This Balloonerism album is a lost album he worked on between 2013 and 2014, during the period between his albums watching movies with the sound off and faces; undoubtedly my two favorite albums of his. Music from a time that coincided with my owwnn artistic and experimental roots growing in my mid teens. Mac was one of the few artists that was making ALBUMS. One of the artists who can create a whole world and bring you into it with just your headphones on laying in your bed. I'm beyond excited to here the album and experience it with all y'all! Hope u like the jacket. MOST DOPE THATS FOREVER
