Almost Matter Grain emblemInk / Light / Motion

For the pleasure of making something yours.

Almost Matter is the home for Pressed, InkWaltz, and Toned: independent creative apps that bring the character of physical materials into digital images.

Each app is a separate instrument, with its own workflow and support information. This site brings their work together—a place to explore images, follow a process, and find the tool that fits your curiosity.

01 / Beginning

Bring your own image.

A photograph or a clip is the starting point. The subject is yours; the material opens another way to see it.

02 / Material

Follow the character.

Ink, paper, film, and movement each give an image a different presence. Explore the relationship that catches your eye.

03 / Curiosity

See where it takes you.

The gallery and journal are places to look closely, compare a process, and carry an idea into your next image.
