Jayce Arnette: Restorative Illumination
As an out-of-state student from Nashville, Tennessee, I am thrilled to be a part of the Wilson College of Textiles here at NC State. My collection is inspired by Psalm 91:4 that states: “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” The verse portrays a sense of strength and power, and the amour, shield, and protection given allows confidence to share God’s light with the rest of the world. This menswear collection portrays this strength in a very visual way using textures and LED light technology to aid in telling this personal story of restoration and empowerment.
