New York-based accessories brand KARA has partnered with the Interact Center, an organization that challenges perceptions of disability through various forms of art, for a continuation of its #KARAyouBEyou series.
Continuing to highlight the KARA community, brand founder Sarah Law invited four artists from the Interact Center -- Andy Seymour, Janice Essick, Mike Harris and John Riddle -- to collage works from their archive onto images from KARA's Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The result is a series of vibrant canvases that merge digital photography and hand-applied mediums including marker and paint. In addition to pairing their past artwork with the label's new collection, Essick and Harris also created entirely new pieces.
Seymour and Essick's works (seen above) will be available to purchase at the KARA website later this week, and Harris and Riddle's will be available later this spring. All proceeds will go directly to the artists and the Interact Center.
