Alyce Santoro’s Sonic Success (Sonic Fabric) #philosoprops

‘My work with Sonic Fabric over the past 10 years has been full of unexpected twists and turns – sometimes I feel as if the project has literally taken on a life of its own. While I continue to show sonic shaman-superhero dresses in museums and galleries around the world, my smaller art-products (I call them the “philosoprops”) have been steadily making their way out into mainstream. The sonic fabric ties have recently appeared in various magazines and US television shows, even on celebrity Jason Mraz at the Grammy Awards! My sense is that the tumultuous state of the world economy combined with deep concern over our environment has caused a heightened awareness of “green” and “conscious” goods in the market. Personally I have been experiencing a remarkable increase in interest in my work over the course of the past year as the focus on recycled and handmade products has grown steadily. I have recently added the Joseph Beuys-inspired fedora hat to my line of small, good-vibe emitting sonic fabric accessories. As I have long had a special fondness for headgear (including tendrils, antennae, and other appendages), I feel that the Joseph Beuys hat is one of my most powerful and effective philosoprops.’  (via ANAT)
