nature and spirit

As a neurodivergent creature, I find cities, roads, developed places, and groups of people in general jarring. I live in the forest and I don't get out much. Except out on the trails into the wild places where I can walk and gaze and capture snapshots.. I handpaint images from my camera or my brain onto a silk screen.I dye the fabric to create a landscape for the images to dwell, and then print the inhabitants into the scene.

Sisu is a Finnish word that describes a mindset. It’s an expression of Finnish national character that has no single word equivalent in English. English words used to describe sisu are: stoic determination, tenacity, grit, bravery, resilience, hardiness, stubborn courage, and willpower. It’s a word of action. One’s sisu is apparent in one’s actions.

Being a person with Finnish ancestry, I find the one word that best sums up sisu is “badass”. Wear this shirt proudly and know that you’re BadAss.
If you know someone who's needing to access their sisu, get this shirt for them. Custom orders easily accommodated, just shoot me an email.
