Up Next at BIRCH: “Have you thought of making t-shirts?”, a solo exhibition by Jon Edgley
Sparked by the inevitable question every artist hears when showing someone a drawing. An exhibition about freeing creativity from the side-hustle, reclaiming art for pure joy and curiosity, and confronting the pressure to monetise your creative practice.
The answer is: “Yes, I’ve thought about making t-shirts. But I don’t want to, because it’s boring and they fall apart in a year—so here are some cut-outs I made from cardboard instead.”
Jon Edgley is an artist and graphic designer based in London (FROM LEASOWE! REPRESENT!). Jon’s practice consists of drawing, curation, and performance. His practice explores his existence, class, and position as a 9–5 worker, artist, curator, and any other role required of him in his daily life.
