Frames

This week has been all about making nine 3x4ft frames which my silk pieces will be displayed in. I have put a lot of thought into how it would be best to display the work, I want to maintain the fluidity of the fabric but still want to display the work in a way fitting for something precious and luxurious. The idea with the frames is that the silk will be attached at the top securely but then be left to hang down in the frame so that the quality of the fabric will still be noticeable. The glass frames add a protective and formal quality to the work. The frames and backing board however will be painted the same colour so don't detract from the silk hangings.
