Form & intention

Classical form, carried into skin.

Marble, light and structure — the language of sculpture, translated into tattoos that hold their shape on a living surface.

The artist

Ted is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in a deep appreciation for classical art. His study of traditional techniques continues to influence much of the work he creates today, from finely observed micro-realistic details to expressive pools of saturated broad strokes.

The deliberate balance between intricate motifs and thoughtfully structured compositions is motivated by harmony and intention.
