A collaboration between bolta fabrications and old joy.
three original prints with three handmade frames.
art folds into sculpture, and sculpture folds back into art.

one frame carries edwin’s 👁️‍🗨️ glyph, etched into the sides as a continuous mark.
the other two use inlays: black and white pieces cut to shape,
set into the wood and sanded flush by hand until seamless.

colored joinery defines the edges.
the base of each frame is etched with bolta fabrications and old joy,
filled with yellow paint so the collaboration stands out.

the prints show a cycle of domestic intimacy —
reading, embracing, supporting.
everyday gestures raised into archetypes through color and symbol.
they suggest how families can hold joy within themselves,
even while facing the pressures of the world outside.

a work that lives between painting, design, and craft.
alone each piece stands apart, together they become sculpture.

echoing alexander girard’s wooden figures — made as multiples yet still treated as uniques —
this project explores how editions can carry the spirit of the one of one.
objects that sit between the domestic and the iconic.
a dialogue in wood, color, vision. releasing this fall.
