Between the Ties Collection
Interlace glides between structure and language through rhythm, restraint, and subtle variation.
Between the Ties explores interlace as both structure and language. Built from a single
underlying framework, the collection demonstrates how one system can transform through
 changes in emphasis, spacing, and flow.

As lines move forward or recede, the interlace alternates between focal point and quiet
support, creating patterns that feel both architectural and fluid. Variation emerges not through
added complexity, but through attention and restraint.

Grounded, cohesive, and quietly expressive, Between the Ties reflects a balance between unity
and difference—where repetition becomes rhythm, and meaning is found in the spaces between.
