This framed assemblage is composed of reclaimed heads and masks sourced from discarded toys and novelty objects. Once designed for play and mass consumption, these fragments are reassembled into a carefully ordered display, transforming excess into artifact.

Presented in a box frame, the work references museum cataloguing and specimen collection, inviting reflection on overproduction, consumption, and manufactured identity. Familiar yet unsettling, the piece preserves the remnants of a throwaway culture with deliberate care.

Made entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials.

Ethical Origins

At the heart of our craftsmanship is a commitment to ethical sourcing. We use materials that are responsibly gathered, often from natural occurrences such as roadkill, ensuring that no life is taken specifically for our art. This approach not only honors the natural cycle but also imbues our creations with a profound symbolic meaning: celebrating the beauty that endures even after life’s end.

Care

Its recommended that art pieces be displayed out of direct sunlight to maintain the specimens’ vibrant detail.

All our electroformed jewelry are made from 100% pure copper. To keep the copper looking as beautiful as possible, you can let it naturally patina, which happens over time, or you can polish your jewelry to keep it shiny. Remove copper jewelry before bathing and swimming.
