Claridges toilet
This joiner was never planned, it was purely opportunistic.
I was on assignment covering a reception for a well known member of Parliament being held at Claridges, the famous London restaurant. I needed a 'comfort break', found the toilet and walked into, what felt like, another era, a Victorian era.
The toilet was so ornate and, for want of a better word, 'posh'. It was incredible, and since I was having a very quick break I had my camera with me so took the opportunity while I could.
One of the particular features of this toilet which I was very impressed with was a sheet of glass which covered your feet while one stood at the urinals (to stop 'splashes').
The guy you see in the joiner was a washroom attendant, he was of eastern European descent and an all together nice chap.
The trick with shooting this joiner was to do it quick, it doesn't bode well for a chap to be photographing another chap in a London public toilet..
If you look at the washroom attendant you'll see that in the joiner proper he's looking down, however his reflection in the mirror is looking at me (I think I'd said something to him to cause him to look up).

The Unseen collaborator
Every Joiner begins in silence, then finds its structure through its unseen collaborator—music. The tempo sets the pace of assembly; melodies suggest movement and balance. Music shapes the emotional architecture of each piece, guiding where energy builds and where calm returns. To truly experience a Joiner, it should be viewed while listening to the music that shaped it. Only then does the visual rhythm align with the heartbeat, the beat, it was born from.
Each Joiner is created but not yet printed.
This is intentional. Printing every piece in advance would compromise the freedom each collector deserves. By commissioning a Joiner at the moment of purchase, you decide its scale and presence—tailored precisely to your space and vision. Every print is then produced to museum-grade archival standards, ensuring permanence, precision, and exclusivity.
