FIG. 1 Brooklyn Kusama The archive moves between a handmade costume on a Brooklyn stoop, the painted pumpkins used as props and a visit to a yellow-and-black installation. Together the photographs preserve process, performance and visual reference as one story.
FIG. 2 Wedding Invitation The invitation gathers daffodils, California poppies, peonies, daisies, bluebonnets and forget-me-nots into one illustrated field. Each annotation records why a flower belongs. The photographs preserve both the working sketchbook and the finished stationery suite.
FIG. 3 Harvard Ten Year Reunion The black-and-white illustration gathers a film clapper, a Sunny Jones title, a Cobble Hill marquee, Mexico City and other milestones into a single page. Rather than a conventional timeline, the drawing reads like an annotated memory map of the years between reunions.
FIG. 4 Mapping Manhattan The folder documents the Taiwanese edition artwork across the red cover, illustrated spreads and LinkNYC displays. Seen together, the images connect the compact map drawing to the city it describes and to the different formats in which it circulated.
FIG. 5 Snackadoodles The series moves between individual studies, the tools and pigments used to make them, and a wall where the drawings accumulate into a loose visual pantry. A short moving study completes the sequence, following the illustrated objects across the working surface.
FIG. 6 Cinema Series The series moves from the Apollo Theatre and Cobble Hill Cinemas to IFC Center, Regal and Stanford Theatre. Each drawing keeps the hand of the line visible while signage, architecture and film titles identify the venue.
FIG. 7 Wedding Dress The photographs connect floral line studies and silhouette drawings to the embroidered textile and finished wedding dress. Keeping the working pages beside the worn garment makes the archive read as a sequence from observation to construction.
FIG. 8 Met Gala Challenge The garment is built from repeating fans that radiate from the shoulders and waist. A simple phone rig records the making, while the final composite places the home-built look into the visual language of the event. The three images keep construction, presentation and the playful fiction of the finished portrait together.
