Text and imagery are “original” / drawn from personal experiences in Sapphic / T4T / Queer love, seggs, and friendship. Foggy visions and recurring symbols from punk / leather culture reference 25 years growing up on the Central California coastline in and around San Francisco / Bay Area [ unceded Ohlone lands ].
Prints made using experimental light-sensitive cyanotype method, as well as heat transfer. Shirts are dyed with both artificial and natural dyes, including Black tea and Black beans.

Cyanotype (the blue part) is an ‘archival print” so it is generally okay to cold wash, wear in the sun, etc, but all washing will shorten a cyanotype’s lifespan.
With that said, washing a fabric with any soap or detergent containing phosphates, bleach, or sodium will remove the blue. Check the label for these ingredients, and see this link for examples and ways to save a bleached print!Heat transfer is machine washable. Ironing is safe for both.
