The artwork catalogue

Nine forms. The same real words behind each.

Every form below is drawn from one group’s contributions — nothing generated, nothing invented.

Choose the occasion first. It sets the palette every form is drawn in, so the same piece reads differently for the moment you are marking. Every form below is offered for every occasion. Anything you pick here carries over as a preference, and stays changeable until seal day.

OUR SIGNATURE 01

The Tide

A layered landscape shaped by shared memories, and the person you love is the deepest point.

Best for large groups and long messages

We keep The Tide selected whichever occasion you pick.

ON DEEP INK 02

The Current

Each contributor owns one arm of a swirl in gold on deep ink. The piece densifies voice by voice until the whole field turns.

Best for a dramatic, framed centrepiece

We keep The Current selected whichever occasion you pick.

ACROSS ANY DISTANCE 03

The Atlas

Voices sit where they wrote from, joined across the map. A group spread over nine time zones reads as one constellation.

Best for groups in different cities

We keep The Atlas selected whichever occasion you pick.

ONE RING PER VOICE 04

The Orbit

A ring for every person who wrote, widening outward from the name at the centre. The group is the whole orbit.

Best for birthdays and new arrivals

We keep The Orbit selected whichever occasion you pick.

A LINE FOR EVERY VOICE 05

The Thread

Every voice draws its own long line across the circle, gathered toward the middle until the group is one woven piece.

Best for weddings and anniversaries

We keep The Thread selected whichever occasion you pick.

LIGHT THROUGH LIGHT 06

The Rose Window

One pane of colour for every voice, overlaid from the centre and deepening wherever they cross. The more people write, the richer the middle.

Best for milestones and thank-yous

We keep The Rose Window selected whichever occasion you pick.

EDGE TO EDGE 07

The Quilt

One patch per voice, partitioning the whole square — the more someone wrote, the larger their piece of the cloth.

Best for teams and whole classes

We keep The Quilt selected whichever occasion you pick.

EVERY VOICE, READ AS SOUND 08

The Chorus

One line for every message, rising and falling across the page like a recording of the group speaking at once.

Best for good luck and get well

We keep The Chorus selected whichever occasion you pick.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS 09

The Litany

A word from every message, set large enough to read — and, when there is a photo, arranged in the shape of the person in it.

Best for tributes and remembrance

We keep The Litany selected whichever occasion you pick.

Still deciding

You can change the form until seal day.

Start a canvas, collect the words, and try every form against the real messages before you decide. Contributors never see the artwork until you reveal it.
