Studio Works is the research function of the house. It produces paintings, three-dimensional objects, and works that emerge from material investigations happening in the other ateliers. The work is not decorative — it is the output of thinking about material behaviour, surface, and form without the functional constraint of the other disciplines.
Works develop over multiple sessions. Each layer is worked, then left to cure. The decision to stop is the most important decision in each work — the point at which further intervention would be addition rather than resolution.
