Vein Cut - Geological Orientation

Studio Studies

Vein Cut is not a finish. It is a geological orientation.

Rather than presenting surface as image or pattern, Vein Cut reads material through direction, pressure, and depth. It follows the way stone is formed, not the way it is polished. In geology, to cut against the grain is to expose time itself - strata compressed, fractured, and carried forward through millennia.

plonc. explores this orientation through limited, authored works rather than repeatable products.

Each Vein Cut study traces the layered memory of the earth. Its striations read like a manuscript of epochs, where mineral seams become passages of history. What appears is not decoration, but continuity - the quiet record of pressure, water, sediment, and collapse captured in relief.

To walk upon it is to encounter time condensed into matter, a living archive underfoot.

In interior space, Vein Cut does not behave as a backdrop. It operates as a dialogue between the immediacy of inhabitation and the vastness of the natural world. Every line becomes a threshold. Every texture reminds us that our dwellings are not separate from history, but inscribed within it.

These works are authored, not styled. They resist trend logic and surface imitation.

Their value lies in orientation and depth, not graphic effect.

Presence, in this context, is not a promise of endless availability. It is an outcome of alignment.

Some studies remain in circulation. Others are allowed to rest. New work emerges through research, prototyping, and direct collaboration rather than catalogue expansion.

Vein Cut is a method of reading stone, not a visual motif.

To live with it is to dwell with time itself - inscribed across walls and floors, carrying lineage rather than novelty.
