Inside the busy and colorful word of Portland costume designer Fuchsia Lin

Portland artist Fuchsia Lin often dreams up costumes that will transport you out of this world to a mythical place, filled with fantastical heroes, sorcerers, gods and goddesses.

Audiences will have a chance to see this innovator’s provocative wearable works in her short film, “Future Cosmos Flow.” A special preview event at the Portland Art Museum is slated for November.

That is a peek into Lin’s busy creative life, which also includes a recent costume design for a ballet, and the creation of a gender nonconforming quinceañera outfit for a Portland-based artists program.

“Future Cosmos Flow” features three dancers who have won Princess Grace Awards, a prestigious national honor. The performers dance throughout the film wearing Lin’s creations, acting out a mythical drama that symbolizes the battle over climate change.

“I love using the medium of filmmaking to feature my costumes,” she says, “You can show things up close on this big screen and you can show it in slow motion.”
