Building moments within moments

My work captures specific moments in time, built on a heavy mix of rich acrylics and raw oil stick lines. Every single canvas is a massive world of details—so complex that when it is broken down, every hidden micro-inch yields an entirely unique new composition. Discover the evolution of the studio, from large masterworks to small-format stationery drops.

Mementos of Spicewood: No. 1
$295.00

Behind the Art

Mementos of Spicewood is a four-part study woven from up-cycled graphic canvas work spanning past years in the studio. What began as an intention to create a single framed work evolved into a continuous dialogue—four distinct progressions exploring the space between structure and collapse, constraint and freedom.

Each piece serves as a physical reflection of growth, transforming discarded canvas strips into an evolving, tactile form.

The origin point of the series. No. 1 holds the tightest woven structure, capturing the initial grid and form before the unraveling begins.

Specifications

  • Medium: Hand-woven up-cycled painted canvas strips mounted on archival backer

  • Framing: Custom natural wood shadowbox frame

  • Dimensions: 8" x 10" wood framed behind glass

  • Edition: Unique 1-of-1 work within a 4-part series

  • Signed and dated on reverse.

Additional Details

Because this piece is hand-cut from a larger, original physical canvas, it represents a completely unrepeatable moment. The exact brushstrokes, paint layers, and textures belong solely to this individual fragment—making it a true one-of-a-kind.

  • A registered Certificate of Authenticity detailing its origin in the Orange Street studio.

  • A personalized, hand-written note from the artist.
