Black Ink on Unisex Heather Yellow Gold tee
Design by Samantha Conrad
Artist Statement/Bio:
Over the past year after making a big move to Colorado, I have done my best to introduce more intentionality into everything that I do, including eating. In the modern day, it's easy to take food for granted as we no longer have to hunt and gather our food, but have the convenience of heating something up in seconds, or ordering food from miles away with a couple clicks on our iPhone. Although that has opened up a lot of doors for humans to spend their time focusing on other things, I think that the art of honoring where our food comes from has been lost. One of my favorite foods to consume is honey, it's sweet, it's versatile, and it's nature's candy! I started thinking about how incredible it is that bees spend their entire lives producing this magical substance. Not only do we have to "Save The Bees" in order to continue eating honey, but more than one third of all crop production requires insect pollination. This design is a play on the phrase, "be the change you want to see in the world," with some honey of course, to sweeten it up!
