I transformed the premier lounge of two premium cruise ships into an other-worldly environment to serve as the setting for an interactive Cirque du Soleil Experience called “Bar at the Edge of the Earth.”
My participation started with the design and creation of the Felt which was used for projection screens, entrance curtains, tent fabric, interior screens, furniture, and a complex fabric art wave installation on the ceiling. As the project evolved, my participation grew to include the design and fabrication of several hanging systems, with installation by the JA FELT team
“JA FELT is an artisan and fabric supplier that Cirque du Soleil holds in high regard. Her dedication to the BATEOTE project is without reproach, and from an artistic perspective she has delivered with passion and professionalism.”
