Transit and Glyph both come out of the same source material: Wearstler's own travel photography of inner-city street art and urban signage. Transit translates that into fabric: nine variations on a graphic language that stays quietly bold, built to show off yarn quality and weave structure as much as pattern. Glyph takes the same reference into Lee Jofa Modern's first specialty wallcovering line, four pattern stories rendered in materials rich enough to include raw silk and silk-cotton blends, three of which double as upholstery. Architectural rhythm runs through both, in structured, repeating forms and a color story versatile enough to sit in a range of rooms and still feel like itself.
Creative Process
Getting Transit's graphic quality to read as "quietly bold" rather than loud came down to weave structure and yarn quality, with the same rigor Lee Jofa's mills bring to a two-hundred-year-old archival print, applied here to Wearstler's own photography. Glyph pushes the craft further. It is woven as fabric, then paper-backed to become a wallcovering, so what goes on the wall carries the richness of something made to be touched.
Transit and Glyph came directly from my own photographs of the city — street art, signage, all of it. I wanted to translate that energy into something refined enough to live with every day.
