Between the Ties Collection
Disciplined interlace and geometric structure create connected patterns that balance
rhythm, order, and atmosphere.
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..
