COUSIN NORMAN Framed Art
COUSIN NORMAN- Your HORROR FAMILY Member
Concept: COUSIN NORMAN continues the artist’s exploration of horror icons as imagined family members—each framed and honored as part of a surreal lineage. The piece began with a “cool thrifted frame,” then evolved through the discovery of vintage imagery in a book and the uncanny reappearance of “Mother’s Hand & Skull.”
A portrait of familial dread and cinematic memory, COUSIN NORMAN invites viewers to display their horror heritage proudly—an heirloom of unease, humor, and reclamation. A great conversation piece as your guest asks how you are related to Cousin Norman?

Composition: Recycled papers, brass, and a fragment from “Mother”—a hand and skull unearthed from the artist’s Halloween Drawer of Dreams. The backing is constructed from recycled paper, PVA glue, and sticker elements, reinforcing the guiding mantra: Recycle, Reuse, Renew, Repurpose.
