A material conversation between timber, stone, and sensory intelligence—where form emerges by signal.
Closed eyes. Open witness. Cities as cortex. Stillness as resolution.
Neuroscience and nature share a grammar: branching, looping, converging, radiating. These works translate that grammar into wood and slate.
These pieces begin with a physical truth: materials keep score.
Wood records growth through resistance—grain becomes map.
Slate holds compression—time collapsed into stone. Both respond honestly to force.
In this collection, neuroscience meets organic geometry: the vagus nerve branching like roots,
auditory pathways spiraling like shells, the eye forming as a geode—layered, crystalline, inward.
Faces appear with eyes closed—not as absence, but as containment. The external gaze quiets so another
mode of perception can activate: the witness that observes without disturbing.
In flow—studio or operating room—stillness brings clarity. Thought recedes. Precision increases.
Signal becomes legible before language arrives.
In surgery, impulses move at measurable speeds—down to the millisecond. But outside clinical time,
signals still guide us: breath, posture, tension, relief. The body resolves before the mind explains.
These works invite a quieter literacy: to feel the shift that comes before the sentence.
Every piece holds two truths. Zoom in: burn depth, fracture lines, micro-geometry.
Zoom out: form, rhythm, stillness, breath. When the current problem can’t be solved at its scale,
you don’t push harder—you change resolution.
Stillness is not stopping. It is recalibration.
In the urban works, the city behaves like a living body. Buildings rise like cortical regions—specialized,
dense, layered. Highways and transit systems carry signal like axons—routing load, urgency, connection.
Intersections become synapses. Congestion becomes dysregulation. Flow becomes coherence.
Zoom out, and the city breathes. Zoom in, and it fires. Architecture—like the brain—adapts under pressure.

Move slowly. Return twice to each work. Notice what changes in you. These are not objects that demand decoding—they’re instruments that reveal signal.
Each piece is built with provenance in mind—editioning, hologram IDs, and certificate architecture that preserves the lineage of the work. Ask about slate + wood framing variants and Signal Slate™ expansions.
