rife & raylay references two things I love:

rife (aka Mr. Rifle dog) who has traveled across the country and back with me, always up early to catch the colors of sunrise no matter where we go. 

raylay riffs on rayleigh sky - the technical term describing how light is scattered by small molecules in the atmosphere. the results if a sky full of color every which way, like the everyday beauty of sunset on a summer night in western north carolina. a visual representation of home.

ice dying offers a way of capturing these colors in wearable form, with pigment unfolding in unexpected patterns that echo the beauty of the sky.
