Artists collective
Make things that hold a memory.
Beneath every Smritis piece is the soul and hand of an artist. The collective brings together secret keepers and story crafters: designers and illustrators, editors, sound artists and filmmakers, mixed media artists, makers of textiles and curios, writers, typographers, bookbinders, photographers, and creators practicing crafts we haven’t even named yet.









How a piece comes to life
- Step 1

You bring the story.
Your Engrams, and the object, cloth or keepsake that holds the memory.
- Step 2

Wematch the maker.
Your director and an artist from the collective read your story together.

Step 3
The artist makes it.
By hand, in conversation with you, from the material itself.
Step 4It comes home.
Finished, signed, and credited to the hands behind it.
You don’t need to have worked with memory before. What matters is that your work carries feeling, that you listen closely, and that you care about the story behind the thing you’re making.
Calling All Secret-Keepers & Story Crafters
We are inviting you to be a part of our collective, a sanctuary for those who thrive in the intimate corners of storytelling. We’d love to meet you if you are:
- No. 1

The Visual Translator
Graphic Designers & Illustrators who give abstract memories a striking visual language. Editors, Sound Artists & Filmmakers who know how to carve raw, unfiltered emotion out of static material.
No. 2The Alchemist
Mixed Media Artists who refuse to be confined by a single medium and blur the boundaries between form and feeling.
No. 3The Material Poet
Makers of Textiles & Curios who speak fluent material— weaving threads, shaping clay, fibre, and wood with hands that understand presence.
- No. 4

TheUnbound Voice
Writers, Typographers, Bookbinders, Photographers, Tattoo artists—or creators practicing crafts we haven’t even named yet!
You don’t need to have worked with memory before. What matters is that your work carries feeling, that you listen closely, and that you care about the story behind the thing you’re making. We work with each artist on commissions and projects as the studio grows, and we credit the hands behind every piece.
