Hands and Feet, a pair of shoes

I painted these shoes for my friend 하나 (Hana). After agonizing about what image to permanently afix to someone else’s clothing, I had this epiphany. Rather than simply decorate the surface, the hands become an interactive part of the shoe, redefining it in a simple and fun way. At least I think so. I’m quite pleased all told. I think she was too. I suppose the true test will be to see if she wears them to Korean class next week..





Now that I’ve sampled the water of apparel design, I can’t wait to get my hands wet again.
