Utility and Presence
2026
Utility and Presence is a small book shaped by sustained attention to objects made for daily use. It brings together five makers whose work is grounded in restraint, repetition, and care—where usefulness is not opposed to beauty, but one of its deepest expressions. Rather than offering instruction or conclusion, the book invites close looking and quiet reflection on how a life shaped around making can leave behind objects that continue to hold meaning through use and time.
