Over a two-week period in 2017, the artist-in-residence, faculty, and graduate and undergraduate students collaborated on a temporary art installation of soft and hard sculpture located inside of an academic building on campus, as part of the university's public art collection. Working together as a creative team, and involving the community, they built the sculpture, applying stainability practices through the extended use phase of the materials. In 2019, the fashion faculty led a new team to breakdown the sculpture and increase again the life cycle of the components by using them for two different community-based art and fashion education nonprofit workshops that provide art and fashion learning for children in foster care.
