Michael Aram Malachite Frame - 5x7

The Flights of Fancy Collection is a series of unique objects that celebrate whimsy in daily life. Whether seen individually or among other pieces, they evoke a sense of charm and fantasy. Drawing profoundly from Aram's background as a sculptor, each piece emerges from hand-sculpted clay and offers a child-like quality with an inherent depth of meaning.

“For me, Malachite evokes a sense of luxury. The prized gem was symbolic to the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians as a ‘heart opener,’ capable of protection and wisdom. Malachite is also known as a ‘Traveler’s Stone’ since it can be found all over the globe. I am fascinated by the opulence of this gemstone. When I think of Malachite, I envision something utterly lavish and indulgent, like a fabulous interior.” -M.
