Framed

Simon Hillier of London just got his "Winter Break" print back from the framers and shared this snapshot with us. Simon writes, "The technical description is dry mount, reverse cut, black shadow, floated at 5mm. Basically that means they used archival quality wax glue to mount it, used a black foamboard to cast a darker shadow, and cut the board at something like 45º so you don't see the edge." Thanks, Simon!
Five prints by Adrian (including "Winter Break") are available here.
