About the Work
This series of works created by Kate Shepherd for Exhibition A was started during Hurricane Sandy when the artist had no electricity and was unable to get to her studio. They are based on the geometric “tram” structures used to analyze old master paintings—a discipline she learned in Paris while studying color and composition. Here she tilts a subdivided plane putting geometry in motion, and then further suggests depth with watercolor.

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.
