Some of the most beautiful things in life are created by time. Statues can reflect this change brought about by time. Some metal statues we know to be beautiful green/bluish green with different tones and patterns. Those that have this look are the older ones that have been exposed to the variety of conditions that the weather brings. The harsh conditions of the storms and wind over time cause the oxidation of the copper which produces the most unique patina rust. We, like the copper, have had weathering, we've had life leave scars on us that change the look of our skin, we've had tough times that have changed who we are as individuals, pain felt deep to our core that re-rights our dna, and before it has time to heal, the pain is dominant over us internally and externally. just like the oxidation of the copper when it was still in the process of making that change. there are times we still hurt and challenge the thought of being broken. Like the statue needs time to develop that thick layer of newly colored rust, we need time to heal, to adapt, to change. When the final layer of patina rust has finished forming, the statue is stronger and more resilient to the weather. We too transform as we learn from the harsh conditions in life and turn that pain into strength and wisdom. Through that transformation, we've become stronger, different, and beautiful: in a way that reflects our growth, our weathering process, our tough lessons learned, and some of those that there is no way to learn but by enduring such treacherous pain. We have weathered the storm and come out on the other side changed. Our layer of patina is beautiful and shows resilience. We are like statues that have been through many storms. They have stories of time that you can see, and strength you can feel, from the layer of patina it developed enduring through the years.

Our process often begins by envisioning the space where each piece will ultimately live. We consider not only the textural and visual impact it will have on its surroundings but also the emotional resonance it will evoke. Each creation is imbued with intention, a quiet faith that the right collector will find it and feel an immediate, visceral connection. This alignment between artist, artwork, and space is something we strive for in every project, and time and again, it has guided our pieces into the homes where they belong. We are endlessly captivated by the psychology of design—how the elements within a space can either foster tranquility or unsettle the mind. For Taylor, the dream has always been to create safe, authentic spaces—both for herself and for those who welcome VISCERAL HOME into their lives. Connor provided me my first "safe space" and "home" - it’s this dedication to creating environments that support mental well-being that underpins every work of art we handcraft.
