Find your future at obxium
obxium is not a traditional art studio.
This is cold, muddy, patient work. If that isn't for you, that's fine. But if you want your craft to show up in a river, a field or the night sky, we want to hear from you.
How we work
01Chance
We engineer the conditions, never the outcome. The best work happens to us.
02Patience
Some works take a season. Some take a geological epoch. Both ship.
03Scale
One happenstance is a curiosity. Ten thousand is a climate.
04Repair
Everything we put into the world leaves it slightly more alive than before.
05Grit
Wet boots, cold hands, beautiful accidents. Equal parts poetry and torque.
We are built
