Peoplescapes Limited editions All the prints are limited to an edition of twenty. A signed label on the back of the print gives the number and other details. Mounting The pictures include a lot of detail and need to be quite large. Two mounting methods, which have worked well in practice, are described below For more information on the pictures and prices please email phillips@badsey.net. |

Standard mounting The pictures are mounted on 5 mm foam PVC board. To add strength, a simple softwood frame is attached to the back of the picture. Mirror plates are attached to both sides of the frame and these can be screwed into a wall. As supplied the mirror plates are brass, but these can be painted to match the wall colour, as in the illustration here. The mounted picture has a depth of about 22 mm. Standard mounting is simple but effective. It has been used for all public exhibitions of the prints. Alternatively, the picture can be hung from a cord stretched across the back. This is not recommended for pictures more than 1 metre wide. If you want this, ask for 'standard mounting with cord'. |

Floating mount With this type of mounting, the picture appears to 'float' about 18 mm from the wall and no fixings are visible. To produce this effect, the pictures are mounted on a 3 mm aluminium composite board which is very rigid and light. Battens are attached to the rear of the board and two slotted mirror plates are screwed into these. The wall needs two accurately positioned screws which protrude enough to engage with the mirror plates. This method of mounting adds about 10 per cent to the cost of a picture. |
