Encounters

A small collection of reflections on the practices of Studio Somnus.

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

• Simone Weil

A selection of curated encounters will be made available in due course.

Threshold Sketches: Drawing Answers from the Subconscious Mind

Threshold Sketches is offered freely as a PDF, for personal use and unaltered sharing. No account or fee is required — the work is meant to find whoever may be looking for it.

The book was designed to be printed and drawn in. Each sketch opens with a prompt, leaves room for a drawing, and closes with space for dated reflections that can be returned to across the seasons of a life. The physical act of putting pen to paper is part of the practice, and over time, the printed book becomes something a screen cannot become: a record of your own inward work, in your own hand.

A digital copy read on a tablet is welcome for those who prefer it. For printing, the PDF is formatted at A4. If your paper is a different size, select "fit to page" or "scale to fit" in your print dialog — Letter and A4 can be printed this way interchangeably without losing any content.
