fabric artistry by Erin Noel Hogan
Erin Noel Hogan believes that each person has unique inner fiercenesses and magic they must cultivate and then make manifest from resources they already posses. Naming these qualities as her inner dragons, she upcycles literal dragons from reclaimed fabric and wire.

“Some people knit.
I manifest Dragons.”
With a background in theatre costume and an alternate identity as a librarian, Erin Noel Hogan is a woman of many talents. This eclectic ensemble was designed and manifested incorporating both upcycled and bespoke elements.
