Monstrum - Restored Victorian Frame, One of a Kind

Custom archival print, hand-selected and paired with a restored antique or vintage frame. Each work is unique and will not be available in the same way again; every piece is a whole art object. One of a kind works come with a Certificate of Authenticity, have a finished dust covered back with an official Veneration of Light wax seal, and are ready to hang.

Created in the tradition of 17th memento mori, 'Monstrum' explores themes of mortality and transience. Vanitas still lifes were historically popular in Northern Europe as a means to encourage contemplation of the brevity of life and the futility of worldly pursuits. The Latin phrase "vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas" ("vanity of vanities, all is vanity") from the Book of Ecclesiastes encapsulates the philosophy behind these works. This contemporary photograph updates that powerful tradition, using the sharp clarity of modern media to explore these timeless concepts in an engaging and accessible way. 'Monstrum' is part of the ongoing Onweacnan series which encompasses works of neovictoriana still life.

Frame measures: 17" x 12"
