FROM THE STUDIO
On Late Sunday Afternoon
"Some weeks I’m a maker. Some weeks I’m just a man with thread and intention."
My father died of cancer. I taught myself to sew. I made twelve scarves — kept one, gave eleven to my neighbors on the streets of Venice. That was 2012. I’m still here. I’m still making them. Every scarf that leaves my hands carries that same intention: that something beautiful can come from something hard.

CARE
The Quiet Wash
A ritual, not a chore. Spend a Sunday afternoon, water and time.
-
Soak. Cold water, a spoon of pH-neutral soap, twenty minutes.
-
PRESS. Press, don’t wring. Lift it gently.
-
Dry. Lay flat on a clean towel, out of direct sun.
-
Finish. Steam, never iron. Fold along the grain.
