The Art of Framing

The past "Art of Framing" photos come from an exhibiton I held at uni recently. They are a development of my previous work with frames and show my continued interest in responding to the architecture within the space I work in.

"The Art of framing"

This piece developed from my earlier work with frames, this time I worked with a pile of frames instead of treating them as individuals. The frames lean against the corner wall, the last frame has the blank white paper slip which it comes with,the white carries down to the sketchbook onto the floor which is sanwiched between glass. The sketchbook is framed by a glass sheet on top and underneath. The sketchbook itself has a single centre metre's worth of photo, the negative of a usual cropped photo.

This is a piece of painted wood. It has a indented line down the midddle. It was given to me to a tool for folding paper. The indent running vertically through the wood runs along the indented line in the wall, following the crease line.

The frame is the left over from plastic vacum forming,the frame has been cut into. The frame frames the edge of scuff marks on the wall. It brings attention to the marks and makes them appear to run into the frame.
