Portraits Of Boston: 'Origami With Fabric'

origami 2

“It’s a hobby of mine. I would say it’s origami with fabric. I started it eight years ago because it’s really difficult to dress yourself, and I wanted a challenge. I think they’re absolutely beautiful, and I hang them up as art pieces. It’s art I can wear. Also, when I was a kid, I would run around the neighborhood in princess dresses, and my mom would get calls from the neighbors. I guess I never grew out of the habit.”

*Later that night, she emailed me a childhood photo her mother was able to scan.
