Alley Dancer

Grace created four pieces of art on closet doors. Her love for fashion drove her to pursue a project in clothing design, but with a unique spin on the presentation of her ideas. Grace worked to have deep meaning and representation in her designs. Instead of sewing these designs into physical looks, she made large scale vision boards illustrating the inspiration and background of the looks. This gave her the opportunity to experiment and work with a range of artistic mediums from sketching to woodworking.

Grace created a collection titled Alley Dancer comprised of four looks: “Existential Survivor,” “Rebellious Intellectual,” “Veiled Romantic,” and “Desperate Optimist.” The doors and the elements they contain all relate to the message, “finding beauty and windows of happiness in negative situations.” Each door has an individual story which relates to an area of her life.
