Sometimes I forget I’m also running a business
Yes, I make things you can actually buy
Most of the time I write about process, ideas, and what moves me to create. But I sometimes forget to mention that I also make physical things: books, prints, editions. Objects you can actually hold.
So here’s a rare moment of artistic capitalism.
If you’ve been waiting to own a piece of my work, this might be the right moment.
