We recently had the pleasure of framing work by Bristol artist Dail Behennah. Her delicate paper weaving creates mathematical landscapes which seem to shift depending on how they are lit, so we wanted a nice simple frame to let the artwork speak for itself, and to give it a nice generous border to allow shadows to be cast and create a different dimension to the work.
Dail had cleverly sewn in strips of card to the back of her work so there was no need for any tape or adhesive to come directly into contact with the woven paper. We attached v-shaped strips of paper as an extension to her card so that the strips could sit flush against the mountboard, reducing stress on the card she had sewn in and increasing the glueable surface area.
We made custom fillets deep enough to accommodate the work and used the same colour mountboard for a sleek finish.
The reduced reflection glass means that you can appreciate the stunning detail of the work without any distracting reflections.
