ART & DESIGN
My artist process includes surface design, painting, sculpting and sewing construction. Creating Avant-Guarde Apparel, Textile Sculptures & Fabric Design with surreal earth imagery. Developing abstracted contemporary fashion collections that relects the fantasy of futurism. Focusing on three concepts of cloth storytelling; animal conservation, ethnobotany and art history folklore of environmental humanities.

Then in the 2000's Angelina acquired her Master of Humanities in Visual Art & Media.

Incorporating functionalist ways cloth is used as an art object by ancient agriculutral civilizations. Combing textile techniques from her culture, traditions, environment, rituals, natural resources and anthropology.
MY INSPIRATION
Inspiration for my designs comes from exploring the significance of COSTUME DESIGN, agricultural rituals, textile science and fabric production among ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS. Translating feminist labor function of fashion and farming through sacred symbolism of surface design on the cloth. SURFACE DESIGN, SCULPTING & SEWING techniques includes painting, embroidery, beading, applique, quilting and sewing construction.
