At first glance, this collection by Ash D. Pierce feels still—but look closer and you’ll find stories carved right into the wood. Each line and texture holds what the surface can’t: quiet traces of emotion, care, and time. Through the physical act of carving out detail, Pierce gives form to what’s often unseen, turning vulnerability into connection and inviting us to pause, feel, and recognize what usually goes unspoken.

Blues Run the Game explores how emotion moves with us—not as something to fix, but something to understand. Pierce’s work listens as much as it speaks.
