About the Work
In Brandi Twilley’s body of work, memory enhances as materials and time degrade; paintings enveloped in personal trauma deliver a compelling blend of reality and imagination. In her most recent body of work, Twilley explores images of her childhood home, which burned down in 1999, rendered in glowing light and enriched by twilight hues. Poignancy and nostalgia are communicated through her startlingly beautiful compositions, in which both the creator and viewer are left helpless to flames and emotion. In La Vie, our print edition by Twilley, a library book that survived the fire becomes a relic of layered memory — personal and art historical — and appears appropriately tattered and spellbinding. The negative space in this image, similar throughout Twilley's oeuvre, is unresolved and hazy becoming a metaphor for the shadows created by gaps in memory.

All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board.
