Summary/Artist Statement
Artist's Statement:
Finding Paradise takes you on a journey of childhood curiosity filled with whimsical fantasy. It follows a little girl as she explores the mystical world she finds herself in, meeting a wonderful companion along the way. This collection is inspired by a blend of illustrations and animations that bring imagination to life.
About this Work:
The coat of the garment was made from double faced wool, so all seams and edges were hand sewn to be self-finishing. Then, each piece was meticulously hand beaded, and flowers were cut out of tulle. The lining of the coat ruffle was also hand dyed to match the unique color of the wool. The nude colored dress underneath consisted of eight layers of fabric, including a double layer of petticoat. I really hoped for the garment to be whimsical and something a child would love wearing.
