Below... two garments by Osbaldo Ahumada. The one on the left is made from white plastic forks while the one on the right is constructed of lottery tickets.

Last weekend I had the pleasure to walk a group of people through the exhibit and share tidbits about the artists and their work.
Here is Beth Smith and I. Beth is the Museum Director of the Vision Art Museum.
Here I am, walking through the show prior to my lecture, enjoying all the wonderful creativity.
Try to get to the show. It closes on the 24th of this month.

Upcoming San Diego Gallery Exhibit "Fabric Free Fashion"

For the past year I have been busy acting as the Guest Curator for a Gallery Exhibit at the Vision Art Gallery, here in San Diego.

Our show opens next Friday, so I am putting the postcard here for all to see.
Hopefully local people can attend.

The theme of the show is UnFabric Fashions. There will be 23 pieces of clothing or accessories made from non-fabric items..

Think plastic forks, video tape, junk mail, makeup pads, plant life, etc.
Although it is amazingly hectic right now, the show will be great (once it opens.. whew!)

Art Meets Fashion in San Diego

One of the events going on in my life, is involvement with "Art Meets Fashion" here in San Diego. This is the brainchild and project of the San Diego Visual Arts Network
http://www.ArtMeetsFashion.org.

Teams consisting of an artist, a fashion designer, a documenter and an educator have been formed, and are in the process of creating wearable art that will be displayed in a fashion show as well as a gallery exhibit in various venues of San Diego.

I am the documentation person, and have been taking photos and videos of our team.

The team consists of
Osbaldo Ahumada, Fashion Designer
Duke Windsor, Artist
Andrea Marx, Educator
and my self, Susan (as the person who documents the process)

Here is a you-tube video where you can learn more about our project
