What Carries Memory

The ground stays bodily

Every panel begins in deep ochre flesh, so contrast rises from the surface instead of sitting on it.

Sheen is a structural layer

Warm highlights sit on raised edges and cards, recalling butterfat polish without flattening into gloss.

Lines remember plaiting

Vertical rhythm, narrow marks, and repeated rules echo worked strands rather than decorative pattern.

Metal stays warm and quiet

Muted brass accents mark hierarchy in small doses, never cooling the field or turning it ornamental.
