PALATE CLEANSER

In perfumery, there is a quiet tradition of using raw coffee beans to reset the palate between intense accords. They are not the final formulation, but an essential pause—a way to clear the senses so you can truly register what comes next.

These graphite drawings serve that exact purpose in the studio. Stepping away from the demands of figurative work, classical reference, and the complexities of the human condition, these pieces are quiet visual recalibrations. They offer a clean slate to look closely at simple structure, planes of light, and quiet utilitarian forms.
