About the Work
Sheree Hovsepian investigates form through concealment and thoughtful moments of revealing, with a close eye on the forms of the human body. Cropping, obscuration, and negative space become key elements in photogram assemblages. The relationship between figure and space feels performative, evoking the act creating a photogram itself. Light hits the photo-sensitive paper in a carefully controlled process, with areas kept free of the effects of light equally important to the composition. In our edition, Hovsepian’s central rounded figure mimics a curved edge; the juxtaposition of a thin thread adds a delicate tension to the folded back. Stillness and motion find a quiet balance, a moment of weight in ethereality.

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.

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.
