02 · THE MAKER'S MEASURE · CONTENT

03 / 12

The discipline of small pieces

Precision begins before the cut

Brass, bone, and walnut are aligned as rods before a single star is revealed.

Pattern earns its complexity

Six-point geometry gives hundreds of minute fragments a single, legible order.

The surface keeps the maker present

Hairline seams retain the hand's patient measure beneath a clear, enduring finish.

Ornament carries the structure

Borders, fields, and medallions give every object a centre and a measured edge.
