Mother Tongue
The top is machine knit using a handmade fair isle punchcard with mohair, wool, and cotton yarn, and the bottoms are crocheted with acrylic yarn.
Inspired by Iranian fashion pre-revolution and my mom’s journey to America, featuring a mirrored and distorted prayer she used to say to me in Farsi to capture the dysfunctional passage into the United States. Including the year she came to America '79.
Knit Sample Collection
Varied sizes of machine knit samples experimenting with different knits, materials, and colorways.
Dye Sample Collection
Experimenting with fabrics (Raw silk, muslin, and wool yarn), dyes (Acid, Reactive, and Natural) I created samples exploring screen-printing techniques.
