Our Story

Since 06.26

Two of us, a boat, and the fallen firs on the North Shore. We take the bark the tree already gave up, char it, and blow glass into it. The bark burns as the glass goes in, so the surface can't be faked and the mould only survives one pour. Take photographs, take nothing else.
