Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The outcome will be an original artist's book made of fabric in an edition of 5-10. Evaluation will be determined by these criteria: successful completion of proposed creative project, and adherence to timeframe and budget. 2: The book will be exhibited publicly. It will be available for handling physically. The book will be disseminated through public exhibition.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Thirteen garments were customized using a kind of fabric collage technique. A limited edition (5) of artist's books was created. I successfully explored the intersection of apparel and the book form as proposed. My collaborator (Anna Carlson, a textile artist and apparel designer), brought new ideas and methods to my skills in book-making and creating narratives through social content. 2: A redundant request, but here goes: thirteen altered garments, five hand-sewn and bound books. This is an awkwardly worded statement. The degree is zero -- the book and garments have not yet been exhibited. The evaluation method is a simple assessment of reality.
