Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox takes place March 21st and is a time of renewal, rebirth, and setting new intentions. For this gathering, we explored Woodmere Cemetery on the border of Detroit & Dearborn.

The ‘Spring Equinox Collection’ is 1 part of a 7 part collection of fiber art clothing pieces exploring themes of circular fashion and a circular sense of time using the ancient ‘Celtic Wheel Of The Year’ calendar to ground on the land we inhabit in Detroit.  The larger project is called ‘All Creatures Here Below’ and has 55 outfits, all made from landfill rescue items. This project aims to challenge preconceived notions of what is ‘in fashion’ and instead present a futuristic, dream-like vision of tribes of people who make their clothing using the materials they have at hand, in a way that considers people, the planet, and the power of self-expression.
