Lewis honored by inclusion in the Ferragamo Museum Exhibit on Sustainable Thinking

The Names Dress (www.namesdress.com) is a 3D printed conceptual art piece that celebrates and brings awareness to the accomplishments of women in STEAM fields. The dress is made up of over 300 names of current and historic women in STEAM fields and is on display at the Ferragamo Museum’s Sustainable Thinking” exhibition from April 12, 2019 through March 8, 2020. To create the dress, each name was rendered and printed in 3D using compostable bio-plastic in a method creating zero waste. The names were then fused together to form the fabric of the dress. The main purposes of the dress are to serve as a tribute to women, known and unknown, working in STEAM and as an art piece made of sustainable material that raises awareness and ignites conversations on the role of women in these fields.
