Wearable art pieces can be used to explore thematic concepts, animate marketing strategies, and provide memorable photo ops for special events. They can also be worn just for fun. Examples of Grace & Diggs work used in this way are below.

Fete en Blanc
Marketing Photos
Salem, MA  2023

    

This year, Salem's "Fete en Blanc" highlights the important work of Salem Sound Coastwatch, an organization committed to protecting our waters and shoreline.

Grace & Diggs collaborated with Amy Brooks to create a dress made of recycled marine-grade shrink wrap flowers.

These flowers are a festive replacement for balloons and hence, friendlier to nearby marine life.  Contact us for more information on this!

Frances & Phoebe Jones (pictured below) helped assemble the dress and Phoebe took the photos.

Art in the Garden
Headpieces for Salem Athenaeum Garden Party Fundraiser
Salem, MA  2022

Grace & Diggs created a series of headpieces for photo ops at this special event.  Salem Athenaeum has a gorgeous back garden and party-goers had a chance to become a part of it by choosing headpieces to try on, wear for a walk-about, use for photos.

Smoke & Ash
Personal Project Produced by Grace & Diggs
Salem, MA  2021

The shapes and colors left in the wake of a wildfire are haunting and beautiful.  They are good metaphors for loss, grief, hope, re-growth and were the inspiration for the headpieces shown below.  A talented and soulful team helped document this work. What a pleasure to work with Mitzie, Dmitri, Dahlia, Amy, and Val on this shoot. Headpieces made of recycled curtains & wire.
