Senior project adds text to textiles

Maia Snyder '23, M.A. '24, became fascinated by an ever-growing stock of vintage garments while working in the Visual and Performing Arts Department's costume shop. Items that once graced Clark stages eventually became too delicate for further wear, reaching the end of their life in a bin marked "Do not use."

"I was hoping they could be seen and appreciated at least one more time," says Snyder, who has given 15 garments new life in a historical fashion exhibit.
