Weariness
The Carried
Accumulated weight with no acute charge. The body state produced by duration itself, with no single event to point at. Nothing happened. It has been happening.
The word
Old English werig, and already old then: it has kept its form and its meaning for more than a thousand years, which few feeling words manage. English preserves the distinction from tired for a reason. Tired reports on the last few hours; weary reports on the accumulation.
The feeling
Heaviness without an event to blame. The limbs report extra mass, stairs gain a step, and rest does not clear it, which is how it distinguishes itself from ordinary tiredness. It is cumulative and honest: a ledger of everything carried, presented all at once. Sleep touches it the way rain touches a stone.
Against its neighbours
Resignation has reached a verdict; weariness just carries, and concludes nothing. Boredom is time with nothing in it. Weariness is time with too much in it, presented as weight.
In the work
A figure bearing load with no visible source. Posture compressed, and the mass of the frame sitting below its midline.

Purgatory
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.
