A collection of my old t-shirts I wore until they (almost) literally fell off my body. I loved them and was proud to carry the message they had to convey to the world. Eventually, they showed signs of wear, holes and stains. The colour and design washed out and faded by the sun. They have had a long life, some of them for almost 20 years. Now that they are buried as garments, they are given a new life in art. Stretched on canvas, primed with acrylics and painted over with thin layers of paint. Now they shine again as if they are new, which they are because this is their second life, as a picture, as a work of art, finally free from function and purpose. This piece is unique (1/1) This is a one-off. There isn’t another copy, and there won’t be. If you’re here for something that holds up over time — visually and conceptually — you’re in the right place. This work comes from a practice built across many years and many contexts: from independent local scenes to major institutions. Unique works are the ones people regret not buying — not because they’re “better”, but because hesitation has consequences: you can’t come back later and find the same piece waiting for you. And hey! If you’re unsure about size: send me a wall photo with measurements and I’ll tell you what will actually work.
