The quietest piece in my studio is a gray canvas with two small red marks on it.

Earth is the slow side of Grist: cream, gray and near-black, with touches of color only where it earns its place. Each piece is built through layering, scraping, and sanding until the surface holds the traces of time. (You may know this work as the Scribe collection. The name came from the act of incising a deliberate mark into a surface, and that's still how it's made.


These pieces are gestural but restrained, and they're meant to complete a room without competing with it.
