Suspension Framing

This style of framing provides a unique look to my artworks. The print is mounted on black foam core. The print is then mounted on a slightly smaller piece of foam core, which is then mounted to the background panel. This assembly is mounted in a very deep frame. This provides a very sturdy framing structure, but yet the picture appears to be floating just behind the glass and above the back panel. I like this style because it  allows me to maximize the image area and to provide a modern look in a rich, sophisticated frame.  
 

   

 

 

 

Here is an example of the 16"x20"x2" black wood shadow box frame I like to use.  The framed artwork is "Well, Well, Well."

 

 

This one is an example of the 16"x16"x2" black metal shadow box frame I  use. The framed artwork is "All Roads Lead to Rome"

 

 

 

 

Here is an example from my Historical Series, "Decades of Technology". Here the artifacts are raised off the background using the same mounting technique. My style creates a three dimensional sculptured look that is difficult to convey with 2 dimensional pictures.
