The Craft

Start with the surface. Every wall and every hide remembers touch, so the first lesson is restraint: test pressure, read grain, let the tool tell you how hard it wants to be pushed.

A stencil is architecture in miniature. Negative space becomes load-bearing. Bridges stay narrow, corners stay sharp, and the gold line is never decoration; it is joinery.

When the spray dries, the atelier begins. Edges are burnished, marks are sealed, and the work is flipped like a sample book until the back explains the front.
