Frame from the archives

I made this frame back in 2003, but it is still one of my favourites. The artwork is thread, glitter, and paint on fabric by Heena Karson. It is stretched over foamboard, this and the inner gilded slip frame are glued to a piece of 'invisible' anti reflective glass. This piece of glass is fitted in the rebate of the inner bevel frame which is covered in black fabric. There is then another piece of 'invisble' AR glass between the outer gilded box frame and the material covered frame. Finally there is a material covered backing, spaced about 10mm from the inner glass, this and the way artwork and small gilded slip around it are mounted on the glass make them appear to be floating. The gilded frames are water gilded in palladium leaf.
