THE STORY
Until recently, I didn’t know that microfiche was called microfiche. I vaguely remembered a weird film that archived old newspapers at the library when I was a kid, but I hadn’t remembered its name. When I discovered that the slide version of the film is called “microfiche,” I almost didn’t believe it. I thought that the word sounded like it ought to be describing tiny little French fishies. And so, I made a shirt about it! And I had a lot of fun doing it!

THE PRINT
17 x 20 inches Unframed Print
Screen-printed on Fabric (Printed on Grey and Teal)
Printed with water-based, non-toxic fabric inks
Printed by hand, by the artist, in small editions

THE FABRICS 
All of the fabrics used for the prints are vintage or reclaimed fabrics that are sourced from a magical fabric sale that happens once a year in Calgary organized by the charity Ujamaa Grandmas. Donated fabric fills the basement of a church, with most fabrics going for $1/metre, and all proceeds going to the charity. It's honestly one of my favourite days of the year and has lead to me having a large and cherished collection of amazing fabrics. Because they are purchased second hand, I cannot be sure of the fabric contents.
