making as orientation

Itawi Studio is the place where I come back to myself — within ordinary days, everyday routines, and the demands of life. I make not to escape, not to display, and not to produce, but as a way of finding my way back into the world when everything else asks for speed.

This work happens in the quiet spaces of home — the table, the kitchen, the garden, the attic — alongside long workdays, family life, and the repeating rhythm of routine. Sewing, cooking, and gardening are not projects with deadlines or outcomes. They are ways of noticing how I move through the day, how attention shifts, and what endures.

What you find here are the pieces that survive attention — thoughts, notes, reflections, and images that returned to my awareness enough to be written down. Nothing here is exhaustive, definitive or even that special.  I’m curious if patterns will evolve and everything is offered as a question: What does it mean to make with intention, not performance?

During the week I work with numbers; in the margins of evenings and weekends I make everything else.
