PAYCHECKS MONTHLY
Paychecks Monthly is a collaborative project made up of artists Devin Harclerode and Roseanne Johnson. Subverting the notions of “funtional” and “commodity” within the art world - the project is a series of accessible one-off wearables that consider sustainability, subversive design, and the abject.
︎
LIST OF URGES
<3 Consciousness and transparency of source - keeping a record of history and a works cited of influence.
<3 Anti-hierarchy. Anti-growth (malleable +bruised). Anti-marketing.
<3 A feminist consciousness via the dismantling of a high/low conversation with visual accessibility.
<3 Intentionally against a cultural capitalism. Having a sliding scale (low, medium, high). Consciously making low-labor pieces in the interest of self preservation.
<3 One-offs to throw off fast fashion and for emotional health. Contaminating the image bank.
<3 Cultivating the abject: mold, slime, smoke, texture, algae, bodily function, complicated composition
