About Filili (accessories):
Filili is wearable art. Each element is hand crafted using wire and recyclyed fabrics; making each piece one-of-a-kind. My most recent collection is inspired by Alexander Calder's playful use of geometric shapes and William D. Cooning's sense of color. Using modern art as a reference is a central part of my aesthetic and process. I strive to make each piece unique working both within my collections, and with individual clients to create custom work.
