Protest T-Shirts
Protest T-Shirts are created using found, donated, and recycled materials gleaned firsthand as part of my peripatetic art practice.
Ceasefire
Ceasefire T-Shirt began in the days following October 11 and the bombardment of Gaza by Israeli military forces. The process of making took four months.
I wear Ceasefire in public spaces. Hoping the madness will end.
Free Our Julian
Free Our Julian was made as a response to the predicament of Julian Assange, an Australian journalist, truth teller, whistleblower.
Making a protest t-shirt is a bit like saying a mantra, or a prayer with a needle.
The fate of those who dare to follow the way of the truth teller in society today is the stuff of nightmares.
It is not an exaggeration to say that with each stitch, I say a prayer for the truth teller.
Julian Assange. How can anything ever make up for what you have suffered and sacrificed.
To your freedom, and to justice.
