Ten days · Northern Italy · 10–20 June 2026

Proceditaly

One trip through northern Italy, kept three ways - the journey, the forms it was quietly full of, and the objects I scanned to bring home. As much a field trip for the tools I build as a holiday.

The Dérive

The whole journey on a globe-to-street map - by air, road, rail and on foot, with every scan pinned where it was captured.

The Rhymes

The forms my tools grow from equations (fused blobs, tumbling cubes, radiating fans) found already built in Milanese foam and Venetian marble. The essay at the heart of it.

Field Scans

Twenty-five things I scanned along the way (Venetian marble and bronze, a gilt chair, forest land-art, a cork oak), turnable in your hand.
