Grace DuVal is a Wearable Artist, Maker, and Photographer based in Boston, MA. Her work has been exhibited globally, most recently at World of WearableArt in Wellington, NZ where she was awarded the Supreme Award for her garment Curves Ahead. She has had the opportunity to collaborate on projects with brands such as Disney, Hot Topic, and Her Universe, and her work has been featured in The Atlantic, Paper Magazine, Bustle, Jezebel, and beyond. 

​

DuVal's work moves freely between the languages of garment, photography, performance, and collaboration — combining a lifelong career as a photographer with her degrees in sculpture and fashion to create otherworldly garments and visual experiences. 

 

Built out of nontraditional materials, her work transforms mundane objects into extraordinary garments. Creating designs out of bicycle inner tubes or construction equipment, she breathes new life into discarded materials rather than sending them to the landfill. The resulting pieces are large and sculptural, transforming the body into something unrecognizable and otherworldly.

​

Her work is only fully realized once it is embodied: worn, performed, and photographed. Collaborating with fellow artists and performers, they collectively create larger-than-life, site-specific installations, performances, and photo shoots that generate breathtaking imagery.

 

Grace currently works independently as a designer, maker, builder, and materials expert in her Boston studio.
