Near-black ground
The surface stays dark and earthen; every exposed mark reads as abraded sandstone.
Pecked through darkness
Light Carved From Stone
A slow narrative surface where buff marks emerge by removal, not print.
Horizontal memory
Friezes stack like canyon panels, calm in rhythm but rough at the edge.
Incised serif voice
Wide capitals and soft shadows make the letters feel cut, lit, and weathered.
Stippled reveal
Pecked dots gather around the marks, leaving untouched varnish as the field.
