Museum-quality archival paper

Designed in our Napa studio

High-contrast monochrome art print — two solid black columns rising alongside striated rectangular blocks, with a diagonal wedge cutting across the lower third. Graphic and structural, with enough surface detail to reward a closer look. A versatile bold abstract poster for a modern bedroom, studio, or entryway. Frame it to match your space or keep it simple in a clip frame.

Field Notes

From The Friction Series — inspired by the patterns left when rigid materials meet sustained force across Northern California's industrial landscape. Scored steel, stress-marked concrete, surfaces shaped not by design but by decades of pressure and contact. Each piece in the series captures a different moment in that slow collision between structure and environment.
A smart way to start collecting from the Friction Series without committing to a frame — or a good option if you already know exactly how you want it finished. Printed on the same archival paper as our framed editions. Works well as an affordable abstract poster for a modern bedroom, creative office, or anywhere that needs graphic punch without color.

Paper Quality

Same 250gsm archival matte paper used in our framed editions. Natural white, uncoated, acid-free surface rated to resist yellowing over time. Archival pigment inks rated for 100+ years of color stability. Ships flat or in a protective tube depending on size.

Production & Sustainability

Printed to order using FSC-certified materials. No warehoused inventory, no overproduction. We print exactly what gets ordered.

Care & Display

We recommend framing under glass or plexiglass for long-term display. Until framed, store flat and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Not recommended for unframed display in bathrooms or outdoor areas.
