About the Piece

In an age of fast fashion and overconsumption, I wanted to promote reuse of materials with an emphasis on handcrafted goods that are both meticulously crafted with artistry and offered at an affordable scale. This vintage-inspired art piece transforms a simple green sleeveless shirt into a wearable canvas showcasing the beauty of simple printmaking techniques.

My Artistic Process

I locally thrifted this unique garment and carefully selected it for its excellent condition. Using traditional linocut block methods, I hand-carved each botanical design and stamped it onto the soft green fabric. The checkerboard flower motifs across the shoulders and the wildflower garden emerging from the checkered pocket were all printed by hand using my custom linoleum handcut stamps, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates both sustainability and craftsmanship.

This collection of botanical and geometric motifs creates an eclectic design that merges vintage-inspired art with contemporary sustainable fashion, making this handprinted sleeveless top both meaningful and stylish.
