About the work
My art is a fusion of time-honored craftsmanship and transformative alchemy. The exhibited works unite the old-school method of silvering mirrors with my own experimentation. Each mirror tells a unique story, blending history, craft, and artistic vision, inviting observers to glimpse both their own reflection and the enchanting metamorphosis of existence itself.
This series draws inspiration from nature, entwining the rhythms of ocean tides and lunar phases with my practice. By infusing the essence of alchemy into my work, I transmute clear glass into ethereal portals. These mirrors become vessels where copper, silver, and gold meld together, embodying the intrinsic beauty of the elements.
I repurpose vintage glass as often as possible. Infusing vitality into forgotten fragments, I honor their history and reimagine their purpose. In giving new life to discards, I advocate for sustainability and the beauty of honoring the past while embracing the potential of the future. Each mirror becomes a harmonious blend of heritage, artisanship, and reinvention. Within my creative process, I honor the connection between the Earth, moon, and the essence of art, drawing inspiration from the natural rhythms that guide my work

As an entrepreneur, wife, and mother to twin daughters, Berman champions the belief that determination and hard work pave the path to limitless possibilities. This ethos is reflected in her artistic endeavors and life pursuits.
Argent, meaning silver in French, began as a collaboration with parent glass and mirror company, Philadelphia native Gordon & Sons.

Cast bronze
Artist Statement
Aerisbotanica designs and hand makes beautiful cast bronze vessels and botanicals for the luxury home dÃÆ'Ã'©cor accessories and gift market.
We use the lost wax process to create our work. This process, also known as investment casting, is an ancient and intricate method of sculptural and artistic metal casting. The technique involves creating a detailed wax model, which is then encased in a mold. The mold is heated to melt and remove the wax (lost wax), leaving a hollow space in the shape of the original form. Molten bronze is then poured into the hollow mold, filling the space left by the wax. Once the metal solidifies, the mold is broken, revealing the cast metal object. This process allows for exceptional detail and precision, making it an excellent method for producing intricate and finely crafted bronze botanicals and decorative vessels.
