Take in works of contemporary art while you shop at New York City's legendary department store.

How does it feel to have your work shown at Bergdorf Goodman?

It&#39;s an interesting kind of full circle moment &#39;cause I worked in fashion originally when I moved to New York City.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Can you talk me through your work that&#39;s here today?

I have two sculptures on view here. One is called Nightstand , [a] furniture piece playing with interior and exterior motifs that kind of appear throughout my work. I also have a fencing mask which is another repeated theme &nbsp;I use to think about struggle and battle over landscape throughout the history of the rural south.

&nbsp;

What do you think the art world can benefit doing sort of partnerships like these?

I think it&#39;s always beneficial to do partnerships with other realms of creative activity and art in other fields [like] music, dance. I always enjoy collaborating with creatives outside of my usual realm and this was one of those opportunities to do that.

Hi Hayden, can you talk me through your window installation?

It was a really moving experience. It started off as a liquid and then it changed states several times. The final iteration is a solid but there&#39;s actually a live element to it that you have to look for that might not be seen initially but can be felt.

&nbsp;

I love that. How did it feel when you got the call that you were gonna be able to work on the windows at Bergdorf&#39;s?

[It was]...so exciting.

&nbsp;

Have you always admired Bergdorf&rsquo;s?

I&#39;m really interested in this entire system of distributing ideas and exchanging content through these different materials so it really resonated with me.
