Frames & Framing: Custom: Portfolio
Tom Killion, "East Pinnacles Creek", 1998. Linoleum block
print, 12" x 16". Framed close (hidden mat under widened
rabbet) in 3" carved slope profile (No. 2 CV Panel 1 -
3") in cherry stained black.
For many years we've enjoyed framing
the work of this exceptional artist, and have used this approach a
few times (see frame detail at bottom). Besides enhancing the perspective
in the piece, the clean slope
of the frame carries you into, and sets the mood for, the serene
and majestic scene. The single recessed narrow carved panel
suggested itself in response to the textures of rock and water, as
well as the block cutting technique itself, and as a complementary
relief from the wide
smooth frame surface. Visit
