Cody is also a fiber artist who is interested in exploring the place where fiber art and dance meet to open up new ideas and ways of thinking about performance as sculpture. They are also interested in how costumed movement can inform us as people in today’s world about our deeper connection to ourselves when we delete the human form under costume sculpture. They have worked frequently with/for and are always inspired by fellow artist Mimi Haddon. The combination of these two forms creates the artist that Cody strives to be currently. They have created costumes for music videos with artists Teddi Gold, Al-Qasar, Talk2Strangers as well as the Opera Company Orpheus Project with Mimi Haddon.
