The Journey

Follow the making of Veil of Mourning, step by step.

Who we are

Veil of Mourning is made by a small, independent team of two. We build it together after work, most nights, late into the night, one stone and one shadow at a time.

It is slow, careful work, and every picture below is a step along the way. Thank you for following along.
