"The t-shirt design is taken from a series of drawings I made whilst on a recent residency in Angus, Scotland. I'd visited the graveyard of my great, great, great, great grandfather but there was no evidence of the cemetery itself as it was just a large patch of grass. You could, however, part the grass in certain areas and see fragments of tombstones laid flat here and there. It got me thinking about what's below the surface and our connection to the world beneath our feet." Martyn Cross
