The Dashed Circle and the Solid Ball: What the ‘I Had Potential’ Shirt Actually Draws

Oct 28, 2026Curtis Fields

The shirt does not show a ball rolling down a hill. It shows a ball that has already arrived. Above the words I HAD POTENTIAL, printed in white capitals, a curved white ramp descends from left to right. At the upper left ledge sits a dashed empty circle. At the lower right flat ledge rests…

Oct 28, 2026Curtis Fields

The rectangle is black-and-white speckled, like the cover of a composition notebook that has been handled through a school year. A dark binding strip runs down the left edge.

Across the chest, in the blocky sans-serif that municipal works departments use for wet floors and live wires, the words NOT FRIENDLY sit above DO NOT TOUCH. Between them, or beside them, depending on how the print falls, is a yellow…

The Smiling Root Vegetables and the Two Meanings of Rooting

Oct 24, 2026Curtis Fields

The carrot is smiling. So is the radish, the beet, the onion. Four root vegetables, each drawn with its taproot or bulb visible in a band of soil, arranged in a loose ring. Around them, in capitals, runs the line: LET’S ROOT FOR EACH OTHER AND WATCH EACH OTHER GROW. The artwork is a garden…
