STORY

Denton Reserve represents the future of conscious hospitality - 2,500 acres dedicated to carbon capture, biodiversity, and sustainable food production. Box 9 Design was tasked with designing spaces that foster calm and authentic connection, offering guests the rare opportunity to pause within nature and experience genuine restoration. Aligned in value to their own principles and those of my studio, Box 9 Design commissioned an artwork to sit in one of their master suites.

The artwork explores our most basic and fundamental values of kinship: compassion, integrity, respect, kindness, courage and love. These values are represented through six visual and interlinking layers, each section combined in unique visual formation - representing the complex and individualized nature of our closest relationships. The work illustrates that whilst we require foundational values to function successfully, no two relationships are ever the same.

SUSTAINABILIY

Created using exclusively recycled OEKO-TEX textiles, small-batch natural inks, and FSC certified hardwood framing. Each element chosen to align with Denton Reserves environmental values to craft and sustainable luxury hospitality.

FORM + STRUCTURE

Quiet abstract geometric layers connect via overlapping textile layers. Stitch and wool fraying create further dimensional relief while combining clean pressed edges with thread details for subtle complexity.

COLOUR

An introspective exploration of grounded earth pigments in bespoke handmade ink and lake pigments. Chromatic natural ink mix to form a broad depth of textured patina: Pooling, layering, watermarks and creasing creative individualised formations on cotton canvas.
