More Than Art
More Than Art
Meaning gets into objects and stays there. You own something that proves it.
This category is the back room. The workshop. Here I take apart what goes into a piece: the gemstones and herbs, the colors chosen to speak a virtue. Why a SoulStitch™ doll is built the way she is built.
Every element is doing a job. Every piece here is made to be used.
Stay long enough and you will see the bones of the thing, and why it holds what it holds.
