i — the premise

What happens when an archivist makes a t-shirt brand.

Tincture takes botanical plates from the Biodiversity Heritage Library, Köhler's Medizinal-Pflanzen, and Schott's Icones Aroidearum, and prints them — faithfully — onto cloth.

No interpretation, no softening. The illustrations were made by people who studied these plants with precision and a degree of obsession. We keep that intact.
