whispers from Shakespeare
These are synecdoches in a way... pieces of a larger whole. Once part of towering living trees, then repurposed for a building or a barn, now reclaimed for art. Our way of honoring craft, working with existing materials, always remembering we are only one small part of the story of this wild planet we share...
A nod to Fia's career as a teacher of vocal production / text coaching / & Shakespeare, we're borrowing, remembering, delighting in some of our favorite bits of his writing...
To us, whispers are taps on the shoulder, gentle nudges, words we can place in corners of windows, on bookshelves, & our favorite little places, to remind us of something we wish to remember...
Each is crafted & painted by hand with our unique bird & brush process (4-5 layers of paint & ink - including a secret hand written wish between the layers) to order. Reclaimed wood has its own biology & life history, so every storyblock will be a little bit different than what you see pictured.
All whispers are created to order and ship from the studio 1-3 days after ordering.
