Ben Cook at Eden tee shirt
For his exhibition at the Eden Project, Ben Cook has collaborated with Obvious Product Design to create a limited edition, signed tee shirt.
The LOCAL – INTERNATIONAL slogan was originally made by scratching into surf wax. It reflects Ben’s practice, and also the surfing and environmental issues addressed by his exhibition.
It is a take on the old adage Think Global - Act Local, which is more relevant today than ever.
The tee shirt is made from organically grown cotton, by Earth Positive, the most progressive, ethical tee shirt company on earth.
It has been printed using PVC FREE, water–based inks by the only Soil Association certified organic tee shirt printer in the UK.
Each tee shirt has been individually signed, customized and packaged by Ben Cook and the OPD production team, using found and recycled materials -neoprene from old wetsuits and fishing string, gathered from the debris washed up on our beaches.
The tee shirt is £36.00 and numbers are limited to the run of the exhibition.
Available to purchase from the Eden Project, Cornwall.
