free spirit

found t-shirt, wood, aluminium
50x70 CM
2025

I once randomly encountered a man who claimed to be a painter, though most of
the people I was with dismissed him as crazy. He was covered in paint and was wearing only
layers of T-shirts on top of each other. I offered to trade one of his shirts for mine. 

The work is essentially his t-shirt, stretched like a canvas, to the point of tearing apart and revealing the fancy aluminium frame underneath. 
The label on it reads “free spirit.”
