Craving
The Wanting
Desire without object. Need with no terminus, which cannot be satisfied because nothing specific is being asked for. Longing has a target. Craving is the same engine running with nothing attached.
The word
From the Old English crafian, to demand as a right; for centuries to crave was a legal act, a formal claim laid before a court. The slide toward appetite came later and kept the grammar of the original. A craving still presents itself as owed.
The feeling
Appetite with the address torn off. The body runs the full sequence of wanting, restlessness, a salivating attention, the lean toward the door, without producing a destination. Candidate objects are picked up and put down; each one is almost it. Time is experienced as an obstacle between now and a satisfaction that has no name, which is why the state cannot end by getting.
Against its neighbours
Longing knows exactly what it misses and aches at the distance; craving runs the same engine with the object missing. Hope waits on a nameable outcome; craving cannot even name one, which is what makes it endless.
In the work
Everything is oriented toward a centre that has been left empty. The arrangement is complete except for the one place it points at.
Craving is held in the archive. These prints carry its family.

Calm Ignition
How big, actually.
Drawn to scale against a person of average height. Every size is a 4:5 rectangle, the same proportion as the work itself, so nothing is cropped to fit.
Sizes are the printed image. Framed works add the moulding around that. Standard US shipping is free at every size.
Paper, or canvas.
Same image, same inks. What changes is the surface it is printed on. Tap either one.

PRINT
Hahnemühle Photo Rag
The paper itself. A heavy 100% cotton matte sheet with a smooth surface, printed edge to edge with no border. Ships flat, or rolled in a tube at large sizes.
- Every size, up to 40 × 50
- You pick the frame
- Just paper and ink
- Needs framing to hang
-
CANVAS
Satin poly-cotton, gallery wrap
Printed on canvas, then stretched by hand over solid wood. The image continues around the sides, so there is no border and no glass.
- Hang it the day it lands
- No glass, no glazing
- Real depth off the wall
- Up to 36 × 45
Series 001 numbers are shared across every size and material, and the certificate records exactly which object you own. Open editions carry no number and no certificate.
Framed, or not.
One frame, satin black, solid wood. We pick the moulding that suits the size and the material, so it arrives ready to hang. Tap either one.

NONE
The work, as it is
A paper print ships flat or rolled and you frame it your way. A canvas needs nothing: it is stretched, wired and ready for the wall the day it lands.

- Your framer, your call
- Canvas hangs as it is
- Every size

BLACK
Solid wood, chosen for the size

- ALTO BLACK THIN 1⅜ in face · ⁹⁄₁₆ in deep · behind acrylic Paper, 16 × 24 and up
- BLACK 2 FLOAT ⅜ in face · 2 in deep · ¼ in reveal · no glass Canvas, every framed size
