ENGRAVED STORIES
Small worlds built one mark at a time. Engraving-inspired illustration uses repeated strokes to suggest light, weather and the weight of an object. Dense passages work because a quieter area sits beside them.
Hatch. Texture. Narrative.
A vocabulary
of marks.
- Directional crosshatching
- Objects with a narrative character
- Alternating detail and calm
Two questions to carry with you
An imagined place or a single object?
Which detail deserves the closest look?
