Art Meets Fashion Project  2010-2011

A collaborative project between artist, photographer, fashion designer and educator, and one of eleven other groups, we chose to use the theme of the art and science of wine as our focus. The result was an exhibition at Mosaic, in San Diego, where we displayed the results of our 8 month association in the form of fine art, clothing, photography, and educational coursework.

York Arts, "Art and Industry", York, PA, 2009

Breslaw was one of five artists selected to work with manufacturers in the northeast to collaborate on artworks, each using
the commercial materials of the chosen manufacturer.  Together with New York Wire Company President, Barry Douglas, the company's wire mesh products were discussed and flat wire screens were selected for Breslaw to use to create her installation "Weightless". The resulting thirteen individual pieces hung from the ceiling were created in the spirit of the illusive and transparent nature of the wire mesh and the discovery of a material that performs both a utilitarian as well as aesthetic function.

Revolution of Crosshatched Dimensions
C. Swobota,( Poem inspired by Weightless Installation)
Wire ribbon mesh curled
Around claimed space,
Encompassing air as definition
Like healthy discs, spinning,
No longer compressed,
But whole, round, and filled –
Rotating planetary vertebrae, freed
With good range of motion
And mobility again.
Only secured,
aligned by shadow,
An xray on the wall: my spine flattened,
Have my doctors forgotten…
That this 2D glimpse inside of me,
represents a 3-D form: My body?
I reclaim it now, twirling redefined
Having viewed this installation, live,
Reflected as a poem,
on a 2-D sheet.
