MELTDOWN

2023 / shirt & clothing tags / 16” x 20”

Growing up as an undiagnosed autistic child the clothing tags in my garments would often cause me overstimulation and sensory pain. When I realized my son was also sensitive to clothing tags I began cutting them off and collecting them. This work is an outward expression of sensory overload caused by a single clothing tag.

A short film was created during the collection of these tags titled, MELTDOWN PREVENTION.
