morning everyone, the shop is live! honestly i wasn't sure this day would come. I've been making ceramic oysters for months (years actually lol), through all the uncertainty of being a full time artist, through the weeks where i didn't know if any of this was going anywhere. the lab became my anchor. every week, hands in clay, one oyster at a time. it gave me structure when everything else felt like it was shifting. i wrote the full story on substack: the poem that started it all, the mythology, what it actually meant to make these. it's the most honest thing i've written in a while. every piece is handmade and unique. would truly appreciate if you'll take the time to check it out 🦪 https://odysseys-atelier.myshopify.com/

one year ago today I was in Florence. I had my work exhibited at Rifugio Digitale for Primavera Digitale, and I remember those days as one of the most beautiful windows of my recent years. Not because my life was more stable then, the precarity of being an artist hasn't changed much, if I'm honest. But there was something quietly magnificent about being in a city built by people who believed art could hold the whole weight of human experience, surrounded by creative minds from all over the world, sharing a coffee, a laugh, a few words. Seeing in each other's eyes the same craving. The same wondering. I visited the Uffizi for the first time. Stood in front of the masters and genuinely couldn't breathe. And I was wearing one of my oysters at my neck, one of the first that had come out right after a few failed attempts. I remember feeling quietly proud. Like I was showing myself, maybe for the first time. One year later I'm standing in a different place. The shop I first dreamed about in Florence is open. The home studio exists. The oysters are finding their way into other people's lives and stories. There is as much life in me as ever. And all of it goes into the practice. Late at night I walked under Santa Maria del Fiore and watched the Brunelleschi dome against a dark blue sky, illuminated and magnificent. I remember exactly how whole I felt. Things come back as whispers before losing in the wind.

morning frens, this purple oyster has found a new home - this is one of my favourites I've ever made. The other day the buyer sent me a picture of themselves wearing it and a small message with it. It was beautiful, I love to see them finding their own way into people's lives and stories. each one leaves my hands and becomes something else entirely, something that was always theirs.
