Capturing an artform into a visually and financially accessible medium poses a challenge, one that is met in many ways by the t-shirt. The t-shirt is a globally accessible medium which is easily recognizable and familiar to people of all socio-economic backgrounds, making it an ideal object to start from when exploring the line between creating art that exists within gallery walls and creating art that has a functional role in daily life.
The t-shirt serves as our base unit which can be manipulated and reconfigured in many ways. This characteristic offers the artist endless flexibility in manipulating the outcome of the final product by adjusting the style, decoration, or even structure of the base unit . The following collections reflect the study of the t-shirt, from more literal interpretations of design on shirt to more elaborate reconfigurations that change the physical look and feel of the shirt itself.
