FMP, Project Development - Prints & Framing
August 9, 2019I arrived in the UK this week and have begun framing my work for my upcoming exhibition. Working on the show remotely has been incredibly challenging, and unfortunately I was very disappointed with a number of the prints I had ordered. Although hard to see in the images above, the prints I received were high in contrast and cold in tone, despite the fact that I prepared the files carefully and soft proofed them on a calibrated screen. Now in the UK, I was able to go a different print shop in person. I had test strips made from the same files and the results were very different. I am now having a number of them reprinted. This is very last minute, and is incurring extra cost, but I am glad that I can get them corrected in time for the show.
I am framing the work myself. I choose to use thin, oak wood frames in standard sizes. Each print needs to be cut by hand, but I am enjoying the process of putting the work together.
