Raissa Palacios
Raissa Palacios reflects on personal relationships with clothing through textile manipulation and design. She embraces the ephemerality of cloth and works to deconstruct the boundaries between fashion and art. Her influences include Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, Mary Quant, ABBA, quinceañera dresses, and aquariums. She was born, raised, and is currently living in East Oakland, California.
