Hi, I'm Klarissa Hillegass!

Laser cut acrylic, design created in Illustrator and assembled with ribbon. Puck light used to illuminate.

Scars is a sculptural piece created from a wood, steel, and chicken-wire frame that is adorned with layers of yarn. The piece carries multiple different meanings surrounding women's bodies and societal expectations.

Parangole machine sewed, channels and bias tape create for edges, metal coins added to edges to create sound while in action.

Abstract sculpture made with fabric, 3D printed chains, adjustable hoola hoop pieces, zip ties, and twine.

Fabricated out of pylar wood, metal, and fabric. "What's in the Gap?" represents a gap in time as well as space. The lampshades and their respective bases represent how things change over time.

Pack Your Bag is created by solely cardboard, paper and glue. The form of the sculpture is meant to represent the verb "to stretch". Along with the bag is a talisman that is modeled to represent a sensory toy to relieve stress from the traveler who is wearing the backpack.

Character designed in Blender and 3D printed from a Prusa printer. Post-processing done with putty, sandpaper, gesso, and acrylic paint.
