Bone & Brass Cased Frame

CLASSIFICATION: Casing Architecture (High-Contrast Inlay) MATERIAL: Hand-Inlaid Bone, Brass, Ebony Composite GEOMETRY: High-Tension Contrast SIZES: 4x6 Inch, 5x7 Inch

Memory is an asset that requires permanent housing. This casing is designed with deliberate, structural tension, utilizing the stark contrast of natural bone inlay against a deep, ebony composite.

The design relies on simple, geometric authority. Each piece of bone is meticulously hand-inlaid, while the solid brass accents serve as both decorative pin-work and essential joint reinforcement, underscoring the frame’s structural integrity. It is built to elevate the contained image, granting necessary permanence to the ephemeral moment it holds.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• Material Provenance: Crafted from natural materials, the high-density bone provides a unique, luminous ivory surface that contrasts sharply with the black composite, ensuring maximum visual focus on the contained image.
• Structural Integrity: The use of solid brass at the corners and centers is a key feature. This metalwork provides the necessary rigidity and acts as a piece of functional geometry, stabilizing the frame's high-contrast structure.
• Display Versatility: Available in both the 4x6 inch and 5x7 inch standard formats, allowing for precise arrangement and installation across mantels, consoles, and shelving units.
• The Contained Image: The frame requires an image with presence. Its strong geometry works best with portraiture, abstract art, or high-contrast photography.
