I laid out hand dyed t-shirts, bags and
images on a bench under Christo and
Jeanne-Claude’s Gates in Central Park,
New York. Passersby were invited to
design their own shirt which I would
make and send them.

Each participant filled out a bag with
their name and address, took the shirt of
their choice, as well as any and as many
images as they chose. They could mark
where they wanted the images to be
printed on their t-shirt using diagrams
that are on each bag. They put the
images and shirt inside the bag and then
I made each shirt to their specifications
and send it to them.

With this project, people become
collaborators, active rather than passive
viewers who end up with a one of a kind
shirt that they’ve helped to create. The
shirt becomes a souvenir and impacts
the memory of their experience with the
Gates.
43 people participated and all have
received their shirts.
