What remains unspoken still leaves a mark.
Rows of hand-punched holes run across the leather like sentences waiting to be completed. Yet only a few sections have been stitched, leaving most of the lines open and unresolved.
Untold explores the distance between what is felt and what is expressed—the thoughts we prepare, the words we withhold, and the fragments that finally make their way into the world. Here, the empty holes carry as much meaning as the thread itself.
Created from Australian cowhide, the surface is carefully perforated before selected sections are hand-stitched with Lin Cable waxed linen thread. The natural grain and subtle variations of the leather form part of the work, making this a one-of-a-kind original.
