What Happens Next
01 — Handmade
Shawn personally cuts and assembles your piece layer by layer using precision laser technology and archival paper stock. Each one is made to order.
02 — Shipped
Once complete (typically 2–4 weeks), your piece is carefully packaged and shipped. You'll receive a tracking number by email when it's on its way.
03 — Yours
Each physical piece is one of a kind, signed, and numbered. It comes with a digital certificate of authenticity linked to this unique hash.
Questions
Is this a print?
No. It is an original, laser-cut and hand-assembled paper wall sculpture. It started as a generative algorithm, but the physical piece exists exactly once. Nothing about it is printed or reproduced.
How is it framed?
It ships unframed unless you choose a floating frame at checkout, when that option is available for this piece.
How long until it ships?
Shawn builds each piece by hand after you order it. Plan on 2 to 4 weeks, and you'll get a tracking number by email once it's on its way.
Can I see one in person?
Sometimes, at live events and art fairs where Shawn is showing work. Check the site for upcoming events, or reach out directly.
