Frank Traynor’s Perfect Nothing Tumbler, crafted from tin, carnelian, stainless steel, and plastic components, offers a cheeky reinterpretation of the cultural phenomenon of the Stanley cup. Rendering the ubiquitous insulated tumbler through his signature gem-encrusted, tin-over-copper lattice work, Traynor transforms a symbol of everyday utility and viral consumer craze into a ritualistic object of devotion, collapsing distinctions between artifact and accessory. Known for ornamentally adorning everyday items—padlocks, flashlights, tongs, dog bowls, and dust pans—with shells, precious and semi-precious stones, and shimmering foil, his practice proposes a world in which the ordinary becomes an occasion for delight.
