The Carousel of Otherwise is an almost entirely cardboard carousel skirt that encapsulates the themes of childhood, nostalgia, and the challenges of coming of age.
Crafted with inspiration from 1850s crinoline cage skirts and classic carousel designs, this whimsical piece reflects the ever-changing journey of growing up while embodying the essence of wonder and play. Its layered construction, curves, and folds evoke the circular rhythm of childhood experiences, the joy, the nostalgia, and the shadows that linger beneath.
This piece invites viewers to step into a spinning world where fantasy and memory dance together, bridging the past and imagination in a tactile, magical form.
