Edification ― the process of building up, uplifting or enlightening.
It began as humble material: raw timber, salvaged scraps, earthbound fibers. I sealed it all in plaster, layering protection over imperfection. The space became a vessel for creation, a shell built from the same philosophy as the work it would soon contain.
I raised the ceiling and set beams to hold the shape of a new beginning. Like my sculptures, I coated the bare walls in plaster, giving the space its own skin. Above the door, I placed a clock in the A-frame to keep time visible, its steady ticking like a heartbeat, syncing my pulse with the seconds.
Then came the window, a quiet eye opening to the outside world, followed by a water line to feed a simple sink—for cleaning brushes, mixing pulp, and staying connected to the source. The studio, like the art made within it, rose from scraps and silence into something sacred.
Each step of the process captured as a moment in time ― a memory of progress.
