I am overwhelmed to the point of blushing. Thanks to Kim Cooper, who talks me up far better than I can!
I’ll be doing a live draping at the LAVA Sunday Salon at Clifton’s Cafeteria in downtown LA tomorrow at 12:30, so if you missed Presque Pret a Porter…
This week we shine our molten red glow the direction of Visionary A. Laura
Brody, who offers a special program at Sunday’s LAVA Salon when she
transforms recycled fabric scraps into a custom couture creation crafted on
the body of a daring Salon attendee. Laura is sculptor who specializes in
outrageous costuming for performers, a custom leather crafter who evades the karmic jolt of working with animal skins by reusing her materials, and a serial collaborator always seeking the next artistic cross-fertilization.
From fetish pieces to inflatable comic suits, from a live draping
performance during the Hollywood Fringe Festival to her ongoing collaboration on “Driven,” an all re-purposed and re-used Steampunk wheelchair created for her friend Peter Soby (the Driver, who’s paraplegic and needs a chair to get around), Laura’s work is challenging, unexpected and always weirdly beautiful.
Yea! and thank you!
