THE TALE OF SEDNA

First Year, Second Semester (2019)

The Tale of Sedna is an Inuit story of how a young woman becomes the goddess of the sea after having her fingers chopped off by her father and falling to the bottom of the ocean. 

​

This design project combined traditional Inuit dress with 16th century Tudor attire, as well as body padding and a mask.

​

My final costume was for a fish character I designed inspired by Lumpsuckers found in the arctic. All the lycra used for the costume was dyed by hand using procion dyes and the mask was hand-painted using acrylic paints.
