Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork

Me + my grandad is a collection of badges on a bit of denim from an oldLevi’s type 3 jacket. This jacket is often associated with working men and women and is usually home to what these men and women stand by and believe in the form of pin badges.

This work is an early experiment using images from the family archive, sayings that I got thrown at me asa child and political badges.

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
