CARE, POLICY
AMS is a project under my initials; exploring familiar motifs and histories surrounding creation, while working with textiles and other wearables. Based in and shipped from New York City.
All AMS textiles, including colored pigment on white cotton are processed naturally. My practice includes soymilk, earth pigments, and indigo powders. By some magic, this process creates a bond with the fabric. Though not a fool-proof permanence, the ephemeral nature of each piece is one of a kind and by intention.
AMS Jeans, are painted with white acrylic paint. All jeans sourced are second-hand or vintage——I paint only on Levi 501s, 505s, or silvertabs as signature.
Before they reach you, each piece has been rinsed both by hand to ensure my desired color, fade, and overall look. My intention is to create something that appears found, sort of ancient, as if touched by the sun. This said, each piece, on cotton or denim, will be subject to change, age, or crack over time — to me, adding to the appeal of something truly unique, loved, and lived-in.
Please allow 2-3 weeks for shipping, and 4-5 weeks for personal orders. At this time, I do not take returns.
