About the Work
Francesca DiMattio’s body of work reflects the tenuous balance between stasis and transformation. Objects are evocative — a sentimental vase, a coveted China ware — as is their destruction — a hairline crack, shattered glass and debris. Exploring motifs traditionally associated with femininity and domesticity, DiMattio’s process involves mutating and reassembling recognizable elements into non-hierarchical compositions, challenging the notion of a fixed image. GOBLETS is our second release with DiMattio. The series comprises 10 pairs of original sculptural works created in the artist's studio.

Framing
Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.
FRAME
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. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.
GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.
