Chanel Body Armor

Today was my first SF Open StudiosI As the crowds came in waves, we were taking pictures during one of the lulls. I placed one of my sculptures in front of my face for a photo.
I made this sculpture a couple of years ago. After looking though a Fall issue of Vouge, I began to think about what fashion would become in an apocalyptic future. I envisioned stylish body armor that could be worn as a type of second skin to protect you from the blazing hot sun. The texture around the edges reminded me of Chanel's suits, so I titled it Chanel Body Armor.
