Alexander McQueen’s last works were given final honors by his trusted team in a hushed and dignified showing that went to his core as a designer who scaled the heights of couture accomplishment. Sarah Burton, his right hand, described how, in beginning this collection, McQueen had turned away from the world of the Internet, which he had so powerfully harnessed in his last show. “He wanted to get back to the handcraft he loved, and the things that are being lost in the making of fashion,” she said. “He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it. He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand.” The 16 outfits shown had been 80 percent finished at the time of his death. – Sarah Mower for Style.com

“Sometimes you’re invited to a big ball and for months you think how glamourous and exciting it’s going to be. Then you fly to Europe and you go to the ball and when you think back on it a couple of months later what you remember is maybe the car ride to the ball, you can’t remember the ball at all. Sometimes the little times you don’t think are anything while they’re happening turn out to be what marks a whole period of your life. I should have been dreaming for months about the car ride to the ball and getting dressed for the car ride, and buying my ticket to Europe so I could take the car ride. Then, who knows, maybe I could have remembered the ball.”

In my work I investigate the confrontations between materiality and images, occupied space and presence, potentiality and reality. I use methods of drawing and assemblage to set new rules to my physical surroundings and to alter found objects across my daily path. My immediate environment is inspiration and material. I enjoy transforming an image to become more physical and an object to be more image-like. Personal memories and consumer culture angst inform the works content while generating a visceral dialog between the banality and spectacular of the everyday.
