MANIPULATING PATTERNS — STITC

By Footwork Artist and self-taught designer Sterling 'Steelo' Lofton

Manipulating Patterns @ THE FOURTANE HOUSE December 13th, 2024

is a capsule collection and art installation inspired by the intersections of Chicago Footwork and cut-and-sew fashion design This will also include a panel discussion and exclusive screening. Both forms share foundational techniques, yet it is the manipulation of these patterns that unlocks unique expressions of creativity. On a deeper level, the installation explores how unseen, unrecognized patterns—both positive and negative—shape life experiences, weaving together themes of rhythm, resilience, and personal transformation.
