tropical melee

Inspired by the kaleidoscopic wonder of 1970s aloha print dresses and the lush tapestry of tropical flowers of Maddux’s Hawaiian homeland, "Tropical Melee" is infused with a palpable sense of place.

Like wearable art, "Tropical Melee" possesses a tactile allure that beckons the viewer- each fold a step closer to an Eden of chromatic splendor.

Crafted during a Hawaiian residency, "Tropical Melee" captures the rhythm of life unfolding in hues that defy restraint.

This is an invitation to revel in the wild, the vivacious, and the unapologetically colorful- to embrace the full spectrum of our senses.
