   In 2004, I worked as a collaborator with another artist to create garments and costumes in fabric and metal which were to be an expression of a foregone and mythical era:  garments which would adorn an Egyptian high priestess or mythical god of great power.  I enjoyed this experience tremendously and would like to do something like this again:  a melding of ideas, mythos, and dreams to create something more than the sum of each of its parts.
