A depiction of the building that I spent the last four years learning and… living… in… The iconic station building houses MICA’s Fiber department, a community and family which I am so grateful to have been a part of. Thanks to Hellen, Monique, Chrissy, Jenelle, Rachel, Valeska, Marla, Jaquie, Officer Jones, Officer Will, Ms. Linda and all other staff and faculty. Thanks to the friends I made during some very dire delerious late nights. Thanks to my trusty ripstick.

Special thanks to Melinda Beck, Chloe Isip, Cate Van Luven, Ellie Van Luven, and Joaquin Zapatero for helping me whip this out the night before graduation. Shoutout to Long-time faculty member, Susie Brandt, whom I never met but was told came up with the phrase “The Maryland Institute College of Fiber.”
