Recovered history.
The Archive documents process rather than finished work: sketchbooks, reference photographs, notebook pages, material studies, and studio ephemera. Together, they preserve what might otherwise be lost.
Tubes of matte carbon, briefcases of blackened leather, embossed, matted, and sealed only in two dots.
Certificate of Authenticity
Each certificate is individually numbered, blind signed, and records the edition, medium, and provenance of the work.
By Hand
Every work begins and ends by hand.
Studio Plate
Every work is professionally photographed before leaving the studio, creating a permanent archival record of the original.
Translucent bone interleaving, black-edged.
Adhesive-free, tied with black linen thread.
Two blind-embossed dots. The only signature.
