Gallery float finishing
Here are some of my images finished as "gallery floats" at an exhibit near Denver.
Most of the finished pieces I offer online or at my shows are “gallery float” wood-mounted images. This method is fast replacing traditional framing.
Here’s how it works:
A print is made on archival photo paper and then laminated onto wood with a thin UV-protective and anti-glare coating. This protective barrier allows the photo to be wiped off with a dry or lightly damp rag. The piece is finished with a thin black edging and features backing that makes the image appear to “float” off the wall about an inch.
This is a durable and economical alternative to traditional mat-and-glass framing. There is no glass to break and no glare. There are no agonizing decisions to be made on mat and frame color. It’s all about the image, which stands out nicely on your wall.
Any print on my archive site can be ordered in a variety of sizes as a wood-mounted finished piece.
The image appears to float off the wall about an inch.
