Metamorphosis: Clothing & Identity is a retrospective of the San Francisco Bay Area Art-to-Wear movement
and traces the evolution of the rich history and legacy of this genre
from its inception in the 1960s to the current group of second
generation designers that are creating their own one-of-a-kind,
handmade, artful garments. The exhibition will also present a
“metamorphosis” of clothes that transcends functional attire and becomes
sculptural manifestations of symbolic ideas that challenge our notion
of clothing and identity.
Comprised of approximately 60 pieces, Metamorphosis
will chart the development of the San Francisco Bay Area Artwear movement starting
from the original Levi’s “Denim Art Contest” of 1973 all the way through
the works of contemporary designers. Included is an eclectic display of
art-to-wear garments, as well as textiles, drawings, wall hangings,
large-scale installations, and original ephemera from significant
historical artwear exhibitions.
During the run of the exhibition there will be a continuous viewing of the video of a fashion show I produced for Sandra Sakata's Art-to-Wear boutique, Obiko, taped on April 30, 1989, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. Some of the designers in the Metamorphosis exhibition are featured in the video.

Originally denoting handmade textiles
from traditional processes, artwear has come to encompass a wide breadth
of techniques, including shibori, felting, crochet and knitting, hand
painting, clamp resist dyeing, pleating, quilting, and sewing. The
exhibition showcases work by influential founders of the Artwear
movement, each with their own recognized technique and aesthetic. These
artists include: Jean Cacicedo, Marian Clayden, Kaffe Fassett, Ellen Hauptli, Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Ina Kozel, Janet Lipkin, K. Lee Manuel and
Yvonne Porcella. Other artists included in the exhibit are: Isaac Amala & Liz Simpson, Michael Cepress, Angelina De Antonis,
Ellen Hauptli, Laura Raboff, Carol Lee Shanks, Nancy Yodelman, and
Wendeanne Ke`aka Stitt.

I am now experimenting with "processed" images.
My work can be seen on my website.
I was raised in San Francisco and have been involved with Jingletown in Oakland for the last 25 or more years. I studied music theory and composition, and danced from 1958 to 1977. I owned and operated my production company for over 20 years, producing live events (company promotions, dance and theater productions, and performance art). I produced fashion shows for over 20 years for Obiko, other fashion stores and art-to-wear designers. I composed music for films, commercials, the San Francisco wearable art store, Cicada, and the theme song for the Asian American Arts Foundation’s 1999 Golden Ring Awards at the Palace of Fine Arts theater in San Francisco. The contacts through these many venues have inspired my photographic development of characters and subjects.
I converted from film to digital in 2001. My work, described as Formalist and "romantic-realist", is represented in private collections in Spain, France, Switzerland, Greece, Mexico and the United States. My work is in the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles and the archives of the Textile Arts Council of the M. H. de Young Museum in San Francisco.
