The Long Practice T-Shirt

A black garment-dyed tee with a short paragraph printed across the back about the oldest habit we have: people pressing ochre into shells, carving flutes from bird bone, and painting animals onto cave walls by firelight, long before anyone could sell any of it or stop to ask whether it was worth the time.

It ends with the idea at the center of everything we make, that every unfinished draft and half-filled sketchbook belongs to that same long practice, a way of keeping some private part of ourselves intact long enough for it to become something another person can receive. Saint Violet is printed small beneath the text, and the front carries only a small white star at the left chest.
