It's Like a Patched Jacket: Danielle Conie (Kid and baby sizes)
Original artwork created through collaboration with a real local childbearer. Give a child in your life this shirt, and connect them with the wisdom Danielle has gained. Connect with the wisdom Danielle has gained by wearing this shirt yourself. An old jacket patched from her daughter's baby clothes, Danielle's symbol for the human adventure of having a child, expresses the fraying of one's old sense of self and one's place in the world, and the need to open oneself to forgotten, new, and beautiful possibilities as losses are repaired and ultimately transformed.
*THIS IS FOR EVERYONE!* Just as the archetypal warrior hero inspires us all to strive and persevere, the archetypal childbearer can provide solidarity to all who face the murky and bewildering side of life.
These t-shirts are part of a larger art project anchored in large oil portraits of each childbearer alongside their symbol. It will be celebrated at Fitz Books with an opening party and a month-long exhibit through June, 2025.
