‘I Recycle Materials, but I’ — Betye Saar Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“I recycle materials, but I also recycle emotions and feelings.” Betye Saar told NPR in 2006 that her assemblages reclaim far more than found objects — they carry the anger of growing up under segregation, the way her 1972 piece The Liberation of Aunt Jemima armed a racist figurine with a rifle. She works as if objects hold memory and spirit, so recovering a discarded thing means recovering the feeling fused to it — and turning that charge back on whatever made it.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
