For the play Nothing is Sacred?, I designed and made the playbill, a costume, and several props out of white, black, and silver tyvek.


In art and in functional design I am often attracted to objects that look soft but turn out to be made of marble, or objects that look hard but yield to the touch. Tyvek is a material that looks like paper onto which seemingly anything can be inscribed, but it is durable, breathable, water- and tear-resistant. The material’s appearance belies its actual properties. It was this quality—along with the beautiful sheen—that led me to feature it in a play about pitting appearances against realities.
