Explorers Coat
adding new elements at Kings Canyon
I began making this coat in 2016 to wear on my pilgrimage to Uluru. I wanted something to hold me and remind me of my power, courage, and all the elements that were supporting my journey. When I left the coat wasn't finished, so as I travelled I added the finishing touches. We were both a work in progress, weaving new layers into ourselves as we moved.

As I prepare to head out on this next adventure I'm beginning to assemble the garments and objects that will travel with me, making new marks into their folds. My power objects to carry me into deeper expereinces. As I transform so too do the garments I adorn myself with. There are many new talismans waiting to become part of the coat and the adventures. I cant wait to show you how she transforms over the next few days.
