Wear to Wall
Fancy T - Size Medium, 2020
Limited edition, hand screen printed silk organza sleeve, cotton, spandex body

Artist Bio
Shelby Donnelly is an interdisciplinary visual artist and educator.
Donnelly makes screen printed and sewn textiles, garments, and objects that are contextualized within videos and installations.

Donnelly founded Wear To Wall in 2019 with the intention of making her artwork wearable.

Wear To Wall is a unique apparel brand because each design is produced as an individual piece, making it more like artwork. The design process starts with the materials determining the size of a piece, which ultimately dictates the design itself. The garment is complete once all the designated materials get used. The limited edition pieces are made from patterns and assembled with a variety of fabrics, making each piece unique.

Art-to-wear pieces are not made from patterns and instead are "built' like sculptures and composed like "drawings." Wear to Wall designs are one-of-a-kind with materials and fabrics that are historical, serendipitously sourced, and created in a zero waste process from start to finish. These pieces are true originals-no other will ever exist.
