Door Handle by Andrew de Freitas

$4,018

Andrew de Freitas makes objects that blur the line between use and art. This door handle isn't just functional — it's an invitation to think about what it means to reach for something every day. Sculptural, philosophical, and genuinely beautiful to hold. The objects on view in this collection extend through different forms of consciousness, intertwining layers of meaning and perception. Different modes of experiencing an object bleed into one another in de Freitas’s work, creating a dynamic interplay of vision, memory, and interpretation. Whether for the viewer or the sitter, these objects slip past purely visual forms of awareness into relationships of a more elusive, embedded, and almost tactile kind. The relationship between use and function in de Freitas’s work is not merely a conceptual exploration but also an invitation to these thought-experiments—ones that stretch beyond the intellect and into the very fabric of the sensing body, where perception transforms into experience, and objects become extensions of thought itself, continuously evolving.
