// about

ruins is a one-person studio making wearable artifacts by hand from salvaged metal, thrifted clothing, and various toolbox supplies.

built in the ruins
for those who remain.

// contact

stream-of-consciousness infodump anything and everything in the inquiry box. no concept is impossible to attempt. a rough sketch, a sentence, an image, a dream. all ideas are welcome.

items marked with (~) can be reexecuted conceptually, but not precisely. complex chainmail pieces are often improvisational. without tediously reverse-engineering a weave, it may end up looking completely different the second time around.

// disclaimer

durability cannot be guaranteed on every piece. salvaged and thrifted supplies have unknown histories. there is no way to account for what materials have been through before use.

if something breaks, doesn't fit, or needs a replacement part, reach out. adjustments and repairs can be worked out.
