Octopus, The Empty Vase

For this project, Kat worked with The Empty Vase located in West Hollywood, CA, to conceptualize and create a giant octopus shape installed over a chandelier during an ocean themed event. Kat drew the initial design and worked with the client's fabricator to create the metal frame portion. She then patterned and sewed the outer lining. Kat also hand-painted two custom surf boards to be used during the event.
