Presentation
It should come as no surprise that printing (how, and on what paper) and framing (which for me is a broad concept) are  integral and essential to one’s experience of these artworks.

I’m using two types of paper right now. The first is a matte paper offering a soft, almost silkscreen-like finish that lends itself well to the dreamy nature of many of my works. The matte paper is treated with a spray that helps protect the print from UV light and also makes the paper more resistant to scuffs. Some pieces call for greater saturation and contrast, and for these I use a more traditional satin photographic paper, which is also a bit tougher than the matte paper. All these works need to be handled with care because I prefer to avoid anything – glass, acrylic or otherwise – between the viewer and the art.  I’ve experimented with acrylic laminates that add substantial toughness at the cost of some added reflectivity. 

When it comes to framing, I tend to use float frames for conventional presentation. However, I often build my own frames, which gives me the flexibility to deviate from traditional framing approaches and to experiment with entirely new ways to present works, including approaches that perhaps cross the line into sculpture.
