About Clay

Clay was shot in a single day, moving through an old stone house from the morning table to the stove at dusk. Instead of a plain backdrop, every piece was given a place: a cup beside a cutting board, a jug in front of a curtain, a horse head by a door left open.

Hard winter sun brings out the texture of the glaze, and window light keeps the whites soft. The images were made for the brand's website, social channels and print.

Selected frames from Clay are available as archival prints and digital files. See prints
