KLIMT SERIES
Bringing Gustav Klimt paintings to life in costume
ONGOING (OCT '22, OCT '23, NOV '24, + SPRING '25) // INDEPENDENT PROJECT
What began as an overzealous Halloween costume has since transformed into a series of personal challenges to get scrappy with thrifted materials and explore advanced fabrication techniques.
My set of self-imposed constraints for recreating each Klimt includes:
— Re-use the same dress
— Explore a fabrication technique and/or material that is new to me
Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer (2022) — Laser cutting and engraving wood
The Kiss (2023-2024) — Laser cutting and engraving fabric, sewing
Judith and the Head of Holofernes (2025) — Waterjet cutting, 3D printing
