stained wood panels, charred wood panels, leather, canvas, linen, acrylic pour • handcrafted + charred shou sugi ban frame. 50 h x 30 w x 3 d original works & biography by Connor Robinson 2023

My identity is a collection of memories that took shape into panels for the construction of who I am. No matter the color or size each panel is layered on with just enough planning for a foundation to be made. my identity is formed from different parts of myself, some constant, some exchanged, some brought back from hibernation, and some created from the destruction of other parts of myself that had to be burned to keep the warmth of my soul alive. Traits I aspire for poured over me by circumstances that called for the development of such traits, but during the pour, like paint, it didn't flow the way it was envisioned. As life goes on, so does the paint dry and the overall picture has morphed into its new self. Parts of me barely hanging on, flowing with the wind of the world around me, tangled around loosely an identity that struggles to support the weight of the threads that hold together the ideas of myself I want to create.

Though the picture of me is not yet complete, there is still a part that is more like the heart, the part of me I cannot escape is the frame that holds the pieces within. This frame is what takes the brunt of the hate, that burns like a flame directed within. The flame that I burn, the flame that is earned, by the deeds of the world and its sin. The flame is what makes us. We are drawn to it knowing its power to destroy, but in the process also creates. The frame is charred to a crisp but by the flame, its beauty exists. The flame also brings the light, that some choose to use to build onto the identity they hope is right.

Through gemstone-infused concrete and plaster paintings, we narrate resilience—both stone and artist slowly metamorphosing after enduring prolonged periods of darkness, pressure, and tension.

Our art is an alternative to self-destruction; it is our chosen medium for self-preservation. Through gemstone-infused concrete and plaster paintings, we narrate resilience—both stone and artist slowly metamorphosing after enduring prolonged periods of darkness, pressure, and tension. Threads of tender wool pierce our linen canvases, weaving the tragical landmarks of our past and the grit of our present. Through abstraction and inscribed biographies, we commemorate our recovery journey.

We handcraft our work with the intention of constructing empathetic dialogues between art, audience, and the hearth of home—a sanctuary for self-exploration and rejuvenating solitude. We forage then process earthen materials, creating calming hues of pigment in a variety of natural tones and attributes. Weaving all of the various versions of ourselves together, to then be encased in wooden homes of their own. By marrying mediums not commonly fused together we echo the cadence of diversity catalyzing balance. Our partnership in life and artistry epitomizes the power of cultivating authentic connections, nurturing empathy, dismantling prejudices, and restoring trust within relationships.

"Inspired by the human condition and how the psychology of design and art can influence our mood, the team is passionate about aligning with like-minded designers to create art that adds depth to a concept. visceral home was given its name after being told multiple times how their art provoked emotion that the viewer physically felt but couldn’t find the words for. They are motivated by innovative, expressive spaces that marry artistry and functionality. The couple aims to create pieces that are investments, not decor. Original works that outlast fleeting trends, especially in this new social media age. Art to pass down and be shared. A visual story that feels just as much your own as it was theirs. Their influences in terms of design styles come from various periods, designers, and architects. 1950s-1970s architecture and interiors; Mid-Century, Bauhaus, Scandinavian, Mediterranean, Asian, Japandi, Industrial, and a splash of boho designs. Keeping in mind the spaces their art lands will continue to morph into new personalities, they focus on creating art that can be everlasting through many design changes." - DM 2023
