This space is primarily a tool for myself to archive reference material and document my creative process.
If you don’t mind the mess you are welcome to rummage around.

Sometime in the months after Davy was born I found myself saying I was “on tenterhooks” and realizing I had no idea what it meant.

Suddenly the word was more accurate than ever with a new visceral understanding of what it meant.
This work is done indoors now, but you can still see holes like this on some bolts of cloth.
