MARLEE WEILL IS A RECENT GRADUATE FROM THE FIBER SCIENCE AND APPAREL DESIGN PROGRAM AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY. HER DESIGN WORK AIMS TO PROVOKE THOUGHTS ABOUT WOMANHOOD, BEAUTY, AND SENSUALITY. THROUGH THE USE OF DRAMATIC COLOR AND DEVELOPED TEXTILES, SHE IS INSPIRED BY HOW GARMENTS CAN DISRUPT PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SPACES. IN HER MOST RECENT WORK, SHE CREATED A COLLECTION THAT TOLD THE STORY OF HER "ENLIGHTENMENT" OF FEMININITY DURING HER ADOLESCENT AND EARLY ADULT YEARS. SHE IS MOTIVATED TO CONTINUE TO MAKE WORK THAT BRINGS FORTH HER PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN AN AUTHENTIC MANNER WHILE ADDITIONALLY HONORING THE ORGANIC AND "MESSY" NATURE OF ARTISTIC EXPLORATION.
