Personally i choose not to paint on clothes . My relationship with Fashion has gone on a journey. From living off the industry to acknowledging the impact and damaging cycle that planet is never coming before profit. Im hopeful the industry will evolve to reach new targets. Human Consumption and ownership habits are not going away so how do we feed this whilst using what already exists in the world. Fashion is a beautiful circus that can be inclusive and energetic filled with the most creative joyous people.

So Lets play when we can but try leave none of our shit behind. This painting lasted 3 hrs. It was created directly onto the scoop and painted over that evening. A fitting end to “dumb is fun” 2023
