• Quilt Study, 2012

    Fine Craft & Collaborative Fiber Art

    Chains studied quilting and fine craft with the Sunbeam Sewing Circle of the Blenheim Mennonite Church, founded in 1908. In collaboration, Chains and Sunbeam produced a series of quilts using deadstock and headed-for-landfill fabrics. Living and working together in Waterloo County, Ontario, each quilt was sewn by hand without the use of machinery or electricity. The collection was photographed by Luis Mora and exhibited online.

I designed a clothing collection with open-source AI as a way to explore the #anarchism of #Dipset, and the group's legacy in streetwear fashion. Read about it on my website www.chainshardcore.com, or through the link in my bio.

If you don’t make your own buttons from scrap wood, you might be a poser.
I wrote an article on @medium called Righteous Protocols, it explores the idea of critical homeostasis through decentralized web design. The link is in my bio.
Spent a few months in this commercial/residential lease, downtown Hamilton. I wanted to document the decor and share it here, before I pack it up for my new space. Some of you may recall that I tried to get a little gallery space going at the start.
