Description
Unfinished t-shirt dress constructed from three large cotton band shirts: Napalm Death, DJ Screw, and White Zombie.
The Napalm Death shirt forms the base layer of the garment. A DJ Screw shirt was deconstructed and reattached across the front, draped and secured with visible hand stitching. The lower portion of the DJ Screw shirt has been cut into a fringe treatment, creating movement at the hem. A similar cut treatment has been applied to the right sleeve of the base shirt.
A heavily worn White Zombie shirt is attached loosely at the rear shoulders, functioning as a partial cape. The shirt is fragile and heavily deteriorated, with holes and areas of thinning fabric preserved as found.
At the natural waist, a hand-sewn “Chains” logo has been quilted into the garment using remaining fabric from the White Zombie shirt. The mark is constructed from layered cotton and secured with visible stitching, functioning as a maker’s signature within the assembled garment.
The source shirts originate from three distinct musical scenes — grindcore, Houston hip-hop, and American industrial metal — held together here as a single garment. Rather than restoring the shirts individually, the piece preserves them collectively as a small custodial archive of subcultural material.
All garments are 100% cotton, post-consumer, and were worn personally by the artist prior to reconstruction. The fabrics have softened with age and repeated washing.
One size fits the end of the world.
