Equanimity
The Still Watch
Stability held under pressure. Equanimity is the presence of a disturbance that is not being obeyed. The stillness is active, it costs something to maintain, and it ends the moment the cost stops being paid.
The word
Latin aequanimitas, from aequus, even, and animus, mind. The Stoics used aequo animo, with an even mind, as a standing instruction for meeting whatever arrives. When Buddhist texts came into English, translators reached for the same word to carry upekkha, the fourth of the sublime states, and it has done double duty since.
The feeling
A level feeling with everything still switched on. The provocation lands, the pulse acknowledges it, and then nothing follows: no escalation, no speech rehearsed in the shower. Attention stays wide where threat would tunnel it. From outside it reads as ease; from inside it is closer to balance, a continuous small correction that goes unnoticed until the day it fails.
Against its neighbours
Calm describes conditions: nothing is currently pulling. Equanimity is maintained against a pull, and costs accordingly. Peace has set the load down entirely; equanimity is still carrying it, level.
In the work
The disturbance is included and not answered. The figure and the event occupy the same frame at different temperatures.

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
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.
- The lightest to ship
- Your framer, your call
- Canvas hangs as it is
- Every size
-
BLACK
Solid wood, chosen for the size
Sealed, hung with hardware fitted, nothing left to arrange. Paper sits behind acrylic; canvas floats inside the moulding with no glass at all.
- STANDARD BLACK ⅞ in face · ¾ in deep · behind acrylic Paper, 8 × 12 and 12 × 18
- 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
Framed work ships boxed with the hardware fitted. The largest sizes are sold unframed, because a frame that size can only travel by freight.
The list hears first.
