I discovered pinball at an unlikely time while looking for Christmas trees. This roadside hustler was selling more than trees; he took me to a garage adjacent to the property which was full pinball machines. I’ve been mesmerized ever since. 

One cold winter while spending Christmas alone, the television began playing Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I watched, completely relating to the characters and charmed with Audrey Hepburn’s innocent beauty.

These warm memories of unlikely formative companions bring me delightful nostalgia. I bring the two together, reinterpreting this Givenchy dress from the film Sabrina as a kinetic pinball machine.
