Talismans, incense, and material art
My talismanic work is an ongoing material practice concerned with time, matter, and intention, expressed through the making of objects formed under particular astrological conditions.
This work includes the creation of talismans, incense, and small ritual or artistic objects, developed through a disciplined attention to timing, preparation, and material correspondence, drawing on astrological knowledge and traditional sources such as the Picatrix and the Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
Talismans and incense operate differently within this practice. Talismans fix the qualities of a chosen astrological moment into material form. Incense works more ephemerally, through the composition of resins, botanicals, and binders whose correspondences support and accompany that moment.
This talismanic work sits alongside my writing and research into sacred time, as a way of thinking through making.
