Corinna’s Bamboo, Fresh- Brian Decker & Jesse Villemaire.

Photo of Corinna at SW1 by Philip Barbosa.

Corinna sat for a grueling all day session at the first SW event in Philadelphia. Her bamboo back piece (which was done primarily by Brian Decker with help from Jesse Villemaire) is one of the most iconic cuttings to come out of the events; quickly becoming an (copyright infringing) internet meme. “Look what your children are doing NOW” emails, blog entries complete with snarky comments… Corrie’s piece took on a life of it’s own.

Through the whole process Corrie sat like a champ; even allowing the in progress cutting to be documented at various stages throughout the day. Phil snapped this photo when the piece was complete but not cleaned up.
