Haus of Garbage’s practice began in 2018 following the loss of both their partner and mother, evolving as a response to upheaval and grief. A tailor by trade with a background in fashion, the New York City-based artist transforms the safety pin — a familiar, utilitarian object — into carefully constructed geometric patterns, three-dimensional chain maille, and wearable works of art.

Haus of Garbage’s work has been featured in Solace Magazine, and they recently created a site-specific body of work for Acid Bath House, curated by Jarrett Earnest at Nina Johnson. They received their AAS in Fashion Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, NY, with a focus on Couture.
