OFFRANDE · 2026

THIS IS THE DOCUMENTATION OF OUR PRACTICE.

HERE WE RECORD THE STUDIES, MOLDS, TESTS, MISFIRES, MATERIAL EXPERIMENTS, AND DECISIONS THAT FORM A BODY OF WORK.

MUCH OF WHAT APPEARS HERE IS NOT THE FINISHED WORK, BUT ITS BECOMING. THE SKETCH BEFORE THE CLAY. THE CLAY BEFORE THE MOLD. THE MOLD BEFORE THE POUR. THE VARIATIONS THAT ARE KEPT, AND THOSE THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND.

OVER TIME, THESE STUDIES RESOLVE INTO FINISHED WORKS, SOMETIMES SINGULAR, SOMETIMES EDITIONED.
THE JOURNAL FOLLOWS THIS CHRONOLOGY AS IT HAPPENS, PRESERVING A RECORD OF HOW EACH WORK CAME TO BE.

one flower, every surface

CATEGORY: SITE VISIT

Wright took a single flower and drove it through an entire building: cast into the stone, leaded into the glass, stacked along the roofline until the hollyhock stopped being a flower and became a unit of construction. We visited Hollyhock House on Olive Hill and shot it on Tri-X, no flash, which left us with mass, shadow, and relief. World-building through one invented form, which is the only kind we believe in.

glass texture experiments

 CATEGORY: PROCESS
DATE: 09-14-2026


Two squares poured from the same clear glass, and yet they behave nothing alike. One gathers the light into a field of small points; the other lets it run in long, slow swells. We set them side by side to see what the surface alone could change.

Mold Technique Comparison, Brutalist Panel
CATEGORY: PROCESS
DATE: 08-11-2026

The twelve-inch brutalist panel, cast twice, so the mold could be the only question. We built it once from a traditional 910 investment mold and once from silkemat and set the two side by side. The method we trusted most is the one that clouded and scuffed. The newer material came back clean.

Silkemat gave us a faster build, a clearer body, and crisp lines, at the cost of a softened corner and some fine detail on reuse. For a brutalist form built on the hard edge, that trade is the whole conversation. This is where we are having it, in the open.

Clock, case, frame

CATEGORY: PROCESS
DATE: 07-27-2026

Three objects, built within five years of each other, share a habit worth stopping for: none of them are quite what they first show you. A clock built from the shape of a writing screen. A vanity case whose ornament borrows an entire vocabulary rather than a single flourish. A garden, rendered in stone and shell, that opens on a hidden hinge to release a photograph no one advertised it held. Two Paris houses, one instinct, and we're showing all of it.

    MOLD MAKING AND GLASS CASTING
    CATEGORY: PROCESS
    DATE: 07-27-2026
    Before glass becomes light, it is broken. Loose fragments, packed into a plaster void and given to the fire which does what no hand can, drawing a thousand pieces into one translucent body. A study in what heat remembers...
