Mustard and Ink on a medium T Shirt

Stain? Work of art?

This piece questions the role of the artist, when the choice to create requires one to consume as well: buying art supplies, or using a software whose terms of agreement are questionable, all in the effort of conveying a message. This is particularly topical with the advent of artificial intelligence, which itself creates and consumes in a self-cannibalizing cycle. Printed with actual mustard, all visual assets were first hand-drawn or designed with free software.
