Mixed media on board, in a wooden float fame.

Loved working with these colours. The layers built slowly, and the textured vessel at the front surfaced but it tried to dominate, so I used some solid colours to make that vessel smaller, but still be a point of difference. Blocks of colour soon became other vessel shapes. But to mix it all up, I wanted to add an a little element to wake the viewer up – the scissors don’t really fit there, which is why they look great!

About Framing

To enquire about the framing of any items, visit the Hang It website or call 08 8941 0999 for advice on your best framing options or visit us at 140 Smith Street, Darwin.

Float frames sit AROUND the artwork, rather than covering over the edges. They give the illusion that the art block is floating within a frame, like a shallow open box. Float frames are typically used around stretched canvas or wooden boards. We usually leave a 5mm – 10mm space around the art, which suggests the artwork is “floating” within the box. Float frames can only be used when glass is not required.

When an artwork is on paper or surrounded by cardboard matting (the mount), it will need to be protected by glass. In this case a traditional frame is needed to hold the glass in place. At Hang It we have a wide choice of frame mouldings, matt colours and designs and types of glass. We are always happy to help you with your selection.
