These craft-focused grads value process over speed.
An international bunch, this year’s RISD grads are largely focused on materiality as a way to explore self-identity. Desiree Nicole Scarborough says her collection, titled Hood Ice Cream, “is a first real attempt to better understand myself and where I’m from. That means an honest, personal, and for me at times uncomfortable amount of sharing about certain aspects of my personal life and how my version of Brooklyn has directly or indirectly influenced that.
Love for the earth is a prime mover for Vanessa Chiriboga, whose collection, Loop, follows the cycle of nature from a dress that contains real seed to one that literally grows greenery on its surface. “By turning my garments into part of a garden they do not fade with the passage of time,” she says. Time, or more specifically the bridge between past and present, is the preoccupation of Zoe Grinfeld who describes her thesis as “a collage of memory, a visual scrapbook, an autobiography.
Andrew Kim , says that his work is guided by instinct. “I am most fluid in my process when I experiment and engage with physical materials in 3-D,” he notes. “Exploration is key. Reacting to material allows for creativity.
To be as responsive as bees to honey. For me, creativity starts with simple curiosity, grows with reaction, and takes form as a response. Clothing’s intimacy with individual bodies opens up opportunities to physicalize our personal minds, social minds, and society’s minds. Right now, more than ever, our world processes tremendously multi-faceted narratives and issues. I want to be open and ready to listen, respond, and react through my work.
