Mazy Path
We’re enchanted by the beauty of plants and the infinite ways that they enhance our lives. We also have a passion for linocuts, relief prints that simultaneously convey nostalgia and immediacy. Our two loves come together in wall coverings based on handmade linocuts that explore plants and their stories.
Plants are our muse. We love them for their formal beauty, and we find wonder in all the ways that plants make our lives better and our planet inhabitable. Plants open our minds, nourish our bodies, oxygenate our air, consume our carbon and protect our coastlines; they are the gift of life.
As we develop our designs, we find inspiration in the work of early modernist designers and artists. The compositions of Arthur Wesley Dow, the color of Josef Frank and the craftsmanship of Gustave Baumann form a collective north star that guides our approach.
While pondering plants and our relationship to them, we gather images. The walls of our studio are festooned with pictorial references- flowering trees, undulating vines, wafting ferns- and loose charcoal sketches we create to capture the movement and expression of these living wonders.
