The Silent Storm dreamscape shadowbox…
A vast, monochromatic void where distress takes a physical shape.
The looming structure is the heavy anchor of past trauma, standing tall against an empty sky.
Below, the body seeks sensory deprivation, floating in the quiet shadows of a monumental weight. It captures that delicate, universal balance between holding the world upright and simply needing a moment to dissolve into the deep.

Tick Tock
Framed in 130-year-old salvaged wood, this piece holds the heavy, unbroken hush of a night that will not end. Time loosens its grip in the deep hours, splintering into nothing but the ghost of a clock still ticking somewhere in the dark, while the mind’s monsters slowly uncoil from the corners and crawl toward the light. When sleep refuses to come, the book is the only boat left to carry you through.

A little glimpse into the cabinet of curiosities.
Shadow boxes that watch you back, animal portraits in their Sunday best, and portraits that have seen too much. Each piece is handmade with aged paper, metal findings, and just enough unease to feel at home on a mantel or in a frame.

Restless Relics are live.
Little pillow shadow boxes full of things that should not still be moving: keys, skulls, maps, cursed dolls, Poe’s portrait, a letter that never got sent.
I’m bringing the whole line to the The Purple Painted Lady Festival — ready-made boxes on the table, and a build-your-own station if you want to pick the relics yourself.
Festival special:
Share this post, tag 1894 Design Studio, and you get $3 off a custom build when you come to the booth. Show me the share at the table. That’s it.
Come make something that looks like it crawled out of an attic and decided to stay.
