About the work

Print and frame guide

A single letter across the room; miniature lettering up close. Here is what goes into the print, and how to choose its place on your wall.

Letters made of letters

Every piece begins as a single letterform and is filled, by hand, with thousands of miniature letters — the alphabet written out over and over — until the shape holds from across the room. The colour is built the same way: no gradients, only letters in different inks.

The shop sells physical prints, not digital downloads. Every released letter has its own palette, and you can inspect its miniature lettering on the artwork page.

Paper and frames

Both formats use 200 gsm enhanced matte art paper, printed to order with pigment inks. An unframed print has a white border around the image. Classic framed pieces use acrylic glazing and arrive ready to hang.

Frame finishes are Black, White, Natural oak, Walnut, Dark grey, Light grey, Silver and Antique gold. Screen colour and physical ink or frame finishes can differ slightly; room photographs are illustrative and do not change scale with your selection.

Artwork dimensions describe the print. Framed options also show the outside frame dimensions. Use those outside measurements when planning the space on your wall.

Check the dimensions against your wall before ordering. A large image is not automatically the best fit; consider viewing distance, surrounding furniture and the space between coordinating pieces.

A letter with someone in mind

Choose an initial, a favourite palette or a piece for a new home. Choosing an existing letter is different from commissioning a change: custom colours and hidden words are available by enquiry, each adding $50 to the listed price.
