Distance Art Project

The assignment is to connect with someone that lives at least 200 miles away and collaborate on an art piece with that person.

My partner in this assignment will be Bridget Dickey, a cousin of a friend that goes to school at Columbia in Chicago for fashion design.  Our project is to create an item (haven't nailed it down just yet... doll, bag, apparel piece, etc...) made of fabric textiles.  The intent of the piece will be to show the difference in geographic space through fabric.  Her focus is high fashion, which is typically associated with large cities, like Chicago.  My part of the work will incorporate more traditional, crafty fabrics, typically associated with more rural areas, like central Illinois.

Once we have decided on the final piece, we will each work in our respective cities on our parts of the piece, then we will get together and attach them together, creating one cohesive work.
