Dusk

We are thrilled to collaborate with Atlanta-based painter Michelle Armas, whose Totem series has made her one of the most collected abstract artists working in the American South. Each totem is a vertical stack of rounded, irregular forms built up in oil, ink, and dye on raw canvas, where no two shapes carry the same weight, texture, or charge. The forms bleed, bloom, and resist each other. Color does the structural work. We have translated four of these paintings into wallpaper, preserving the raw canvas ground and Armas's hand at full scale.

Dusk pulls the same stacked architecture into a palette of khaki, blush, umber, sage, and terracotta. Colors that feel found rather than chosen. Forms are softer here, shapes more dissolved. Large in scale and quietly monumental, it is the easiest to live with, and the hardest to ignore.
