we bend but don’t break

21x21 5-1/2 depth. linen canvas housed in a handcrafted natural poplar frame. plaster, oil, concrete, lavender seed, watercolor, ground rose quartz, ground crystal quartz, sand, mika pearl, rock pigment, ground palo santo.

connor had the idea of making this frame with thin but wide pieces of wood that were bent each one a different way, not knowing that it was going to be one of the most challenging frames he’s built. we have been experimenting with a wide range of wood sizes and we fell in love with the way a large depth of a frame can add such dramatic energy to the room.
