Ornate mirror frame — recycled PETG, hand-finished
12" W × 20" H × 5" D | Mirror: 7.5" × 9.5"
The Three Graces rise from woven corals, sea shells, and sea urchins — figures from mythology surfacing the relics of a living reef. Designed in the tradition of the Italian Baroque: ornate, excessive, unapologetically beautiful. Built from recycled plastics, a material our culture treats as worthless, finished to appear like porcelain.
This plastic was supposed to be discarded. Instead it becomes art.
PETG is technically recyclable. In practice, most of it doesn't get recycled — it accumulates, persists, gets shipped abroad and called someone else's problem. This frame is a refusal of that story.
Kintsugi teaches that the break can be made beautiful. Arte Povera insisted that overlooked materials deserve the highest artistic attention. This piece lives in both traditions — beauty in the margins, in the cracks, in what we've written off.
Printed in recycled PETG, sculpted with hot tools, hand-finished and signed in my Western Massachusetts studio. No two are alike.
Arrives home to you ready to hang, packaged securely and shipped.
