03 / FROM THE WORKSHOP

Old piece.
New character.

This chest of drawers is one of my refinishing projects. Black around warm, figured wood—a balance I keep coming back to in my artwork, too.

Made by / House brings those interests together: prints today, with wood pieces and other things from the workshop as the collection grows.
