A Black man with very deep complexion in last light on Cannon Beach

The first tin

Copper Leaf.

Wet copper in last light. The bone. The rest of the kettle follows.

Collection

Not a second brand. A pigment family.

Ice that greys. Flush that vanishes. Bronze that stripes. These tins are mixed for last light on melanin — not a deep slider on a fair range.

Copper Leaf is the bone. The rest of the house is the same copper, quieter — and not this launch.

Sitters

The same light. The house sits.

Nia, Imani, Zora, Kwame, Omari, Sekou, Makeda. Deep warm, golden, very deep — worn by whoever sits.

Sit with the house

Launch

Copper Leaf. Then the kettle.
