Objects Bunny Unisex T-shirt by Bella Freud

£95

This unisex organic cotton, straight-fit t-shirt has a beautiful story behind it. New Zealand-based artist Deborah Smith was introduced to Bella Freud by her friend the fashion designer Susie Cave. Cave asked Freud to attend a Cloud Workshop Smith was holding in a community centre in North London, to help children suffering bereavement through creating. When Freud went to help at the workshop, Smith had recently lost her brother, Tyrone Smith. Later, Smith sent Freud a book she had made of Tyrone’s artworks and photographs – and Freud was especially compelled by his drawings, and this one in particular, a bunny, who Freud dressed in her 1970s jumper. “There is something about this creature that makes me think of the Greek myths as well as all the comic books that sustained me as I was growing up. I feel a very strong connection to Tyrone and Deborah and his mythical creature has become an integral part of my work.” Freud says.
