The T-shirt as cultural keystone.

I am really pleased and excited to be showing a new piece as part of an amazing group exhibition opening at Rogue Studios on Saturday 30th September 2023.

Tees is a group exhibition curated by Mike Chavez-Dawson and Co. exploring the t-shirt as an artform, a form of self expression and a symbol of protest. As someone who regularly used to make their own t-shirts as a quick and easy response to political moments or to quickly realise an artistic idea, I have long be fascinated by the flexibility of the t-shirt as a direct form of self expression; the idea of wearing your heart or your politics on your sleeve (or more accurately on your chest) holds a universal appeal. There are some amazing artists included in this show including Peter Blake, Jeremy Deller and Bob and Roberta Smith to name just a few, more excitingly there are a massive range of artists who have taken this brief and ran with it in every direction all at once! I will be reading a new piece ” The Complete and Unabridged History of Fire” at the preview at 3.30pm on 30/9/23 Be there, buy the t-shirt!
