What I’ve learned about art

Art is a human act

The ultimate purpose of art is not to produce a product.

The purpose of art is to produce thinking, to explore the nature of perception, to create pleasure and to evoke strong emotion.

I use products, such as hoodies, as a way to bring art into your life in more ways than just hanging it on your wall or seeing it in a gallery.

To be truly accessible, art cannot be locked away in secure vaults but needs to be out in the world, with the people it brings joy and meaning to.

Art is courageous

Art is generous.

Art is courageous.

Art is provocative.

Art is emotive.

As an artist, I must constantly endeavour to expose my insecurities and find the courage to be vulnerable in front of others.

Art is rebellion

I can keep track of what I will get in return, or I can make art.

I can enjoy the status quo, or I can make art.

I can be perfect, or I can make art.

This way of being is in itself rebellious to me – not because I fight against anyone or anything.

But because I’ve committed to discovering my true nature and living in accordance with it.

I believe that buying art should be easy and fun

It should leave you happy and uplifted, with a feeling that you’ve just learned something about yourself or reaffirmed something you already knew.

Adorning your home with art – be it commissions or originals from an artist, art prints or something your 3-year-old made at daycare – it’s a form of self-expression.

And a way for you to create the person you want to be.

By displaying your art and favourite decor pieces, you’re not just making it feel like home, you’re also learning to appreciate all the special details of where you are – such as the way the light comes in through the windows at a certain time of day and lights up the space you have created for yourself.
