A couple hundredish hours of my best work ever summed up in 20ish seconds.

I just posted all about how I made the flowers for this commissioned HOOPLA wearable sculpture over on Patreon! Search “House HOOPLA” and join this fashionable revolution.

When they say hush, we HOOPLA.

Here it is! I told you my residency at Provincetown Art Association and Museum was productive!

This commissioned HOOPLA wearable sculpture is designed to transform into four different looks. I’m still finishing the final transformation, but I’ll keep you in the loop!

The magnetic flowers are made from salvaged plastic drop cloths, giving discarded materials a whole new life.

I’m obsessed with how alive this piece feels!
What do you think?

Prototype: DONE ✨

Never wired. Never soldered.
Now I can do both ⚡️

Three full restarts.
Lots of help.
A lot of learning.

Build sheet is finished ✔️
Final commission build sheet in progress.

And I’m not gatekeeping any of it—
It’s all on Patreon.

Ever wonder how 197, a HOOPLA signature piece, gets moved?
It’s awkward, goofy and a bit noisy!
And it couldn’t be done without a bit of help! Shout out to my brother (and HOOPLA patron) for driving two hours just to help me put this signature work back in storage.

ABOUT 197, THE WEARABLE SCULPTURE:

This work is rebellion-
a response to a article warning that 197 words might cost you your funding.
Words like diversity, equity, inclusion.
Words that name who we are, what we’ve lived, what we dream.
Part of the HOOPLA collection, this hoopskirt carries those very words— printed on 197 recycled cans,
each one clinking softly like a warning.
Like a prayer.

ABOUT 197, THE PORTRAIT:

💫 Modeled by Janae White —a friend of the artist—
this isn’t just a portrait.
It’s a moment. A breath.
Where language becomes visible.
Becomes heavy.
Becomes armor.

This portrait asks:
What happens when our truths are labeled “unacceptable”?
When words meant to heal are treated like threats?
It’s a love letter to those 197 terms.
A shield made of everything they told us not to say.
A celebration of the power we carry in our mouths—even when they try to quiet us.
Some pictures say more than a thousand words.
This one dares to hold 197—
and every life they tried to silence.
Because when they say hush…
we HOOPLA.

Friendly reminder that art does not require us to KNOW, it only asks us to DO. ✨
I’m an internationally published multidisciplinary artist, and I am self taught in all things. 💜
I didn’t know how to sew when HOOPLA was born- I’m figuring it out as I go. 🤷‍♀️
When a concept claims an artist it is our responsibility to listen and serve, to bring it to life.
I’m grateful HOOPLA chose me and it’s been an honor to watch you resonate with the message of taking up space and getting LOUD about it. 🙏

Flower experimentation for an upcoming commission 🌹
Made from salvaged polyester scrim — the leftover adhesive creates a natural “dew” effect.
