the story behind OEF

onyx

The family name derivative.

Oliver, Nikolai, Karyn, Alex.

The children that made me, the man who loves me through every side quest and age long journey. They are my reason every day for fighting to give them the world and to be present enough to enjoy it with them.

ephemera

The little things in life meant to be fleeting. But everything is fleeting, isn’t it? Is that why we hold on to these little things so tightly? To be reminded of how things were—to be reminded of the crinkled hand that penned the grocery list we found eighty years later—to connect with a past that we claw our way back to with so little success? Or do we hold on so tightly to feel the warmth of generations past and know that they existed and struggled, loved and lived in the same paths and spaces as us. Maybe it makes us feel like we’re truly not alone—to touch the moments in time that once belonged to the others whose blood runs through our veins.

Foundry

If you can close your eyes and feel the grit of stone, the wave in the clay, the silky lines of the “good” china, the bubbles in the glass—that’s how you know it’s been forged with someone’s intense concentration and sweat. Maybe they cried through it—maybe they bled. They definitely lost some heart in it.

These are the things within a foundry. This is the way I, too, build.

All my heart.
