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?

Frame: Upcycled thrifted natural blonde wood fitted with a brass label holder. The surface bears subtle marks of age and intention, echoing the eerie nostalgia of its subject.

Photo Source: An image recovered from an old book, inspired by Psycho (1960) and the haunting legacy of Norman Bates.

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.
