Specialist note

"Regarding the painting of shirts themselves, that body of work came after a series of body hair shaving paintings, thinking about how one curates one’s own body. With the shirts, I was thinking about how every item of clothing we wear is a distinct choice of how we wish to be seen by society or by certain groups. We curate ourselves socially based on what we wear."
