Swedish Pine & Hand-cut Glass
The frames we use are customised to size and locally handmade. The structures are built from solid Swedish pine (furu); a stable, light wood chosen for its rigidity and even grain.
Sizing chart
Flush Mount
A traditional gallery-style configuration where the artwork is mounted directly against the glass. This creates a stable, low-profile presentation.
- Mounting: Flush mount (no air gap between print and glass).
- Glass: 2 mm float glass.
- Construction: Solid Swedish pine with a 15 mm (0.6 in) face and a 30 mm (1.2 in) depth.
- Archival Integrity: Assembled using acid-free adhesives and pH-neutral materials.
- Frame size: 21 × 29.7 cm (8.3 × 11.7 in), 29 × 43 cm (11.4 × 16.9 in) and 43 × 65 cm (16.9 × 25.6 in)
Float Premium
A museum-grade configuration where the print sits raised from the backing. This allows the paper edges to cast a shadow and creates a three-dimensional depth within the frame.
- Mounting: Professional float mount (3D shadow effect).
- Glass: Museum Glass. 2 mm hand-cut, UV-resistant, non-glare art glass. Protects the surface while maintaining absolute optical clarity and reducing reflections.
- Construction: Deep-profile shadow box in solid Swedish pine with a 15 mm (0.6 in) face and 30 mm (1.2 in) depth.
- Archival Integrity: Strictly acid-free components—from mounting adhesives to sealing tapes—to ensure long-term structural stability.
Technical Proportions
To maintain visual balance, internal margins (mats) are weighted based on the artwork's dimensions. For a standard large-format work, the proportions follow this logic:
- Face Width: 15 mm (0.6 in)
- Frame Depth: 30 mm (1.2 in)
- Standard Margins: 35–45 mm (1.4–1.8 in) at the sides and top; 45–55 mm (1.8–2.2 in) at the bottom.
- Frame sizes: 27 × 36.5 cm (10.6 × 14.4 in), 37.5 × 51 cm (14.8 × 20.1 in) and 52 × 70.5 cm (20.5 × 27.8 in)
Flattery is a reality built from an illusion: generatively looped macro photography of my favourite blue, PB29 - synthetic Ultramarine. It is a form that seems larger than it is; a peak that holds because we are willing to believe in it. It is an inquiry into our times.
Flattery opens REACTOR: a new series of artworks of sustained curiosity. It is where attention is applied daily in the atelier without a specific goal, allowing new work to emerge over time. Each piece begins with a what if: materials, physics, photography, and algorithmic loops. What remains is not a planned outcome, but evidence of time spent paying attention.
The stream follows this curiosity to its natural conclusion; whether resolving as a singular one-of-one artefact or a specific sequence, the format is recognised only when the investigation demands material presence.

Realised on 310 gsm, 100% white cotton Hahnemühle William Turner paper. Characterised by a fine, highly pronounced felt structure, this genuine mould-made paper provides striking depth and a three-dimensional effect. The surface is free of optical brighteners and protected by a matt archival-grade coating for deep blacks and impressive contrast. Acid- and lignin-free, the work is ISO 9706 conform for highest age resistance.

Please note that digital screens cannot perfectly replicate physical pigments; the print itself is the definitive reference for color and texture. Subtle variations in character are inherent.
Unpacking & Surface Safety
- Edge Sensitivity: Because the work has little handling border, the edges are part of the composition. Handle with care to avoid crimping or marking the corners.
- Glove Use: We strongly recommend wearing lint-free cotton gloves during any handling. The surface of the paper is highly sensitive to the natural oils and moisture from fingertips.
- Surface Contact: Avoid sliding the print against any surface. The structure can be prone to scuffing if moved across a rough plane.
Framing Recommendations
For collectors opting to frame the work themselves, we recommend a professional float mount to maintain the work’s intended presence. To reproduce the atelier’s signature look, instruct your framer as follows:
- Mounting: Float the print on an acid-free backing board to leave the mould-made edges visible.
- Frame Profile: Request a discrete wood profile with a 15 mm (0.6 in) face and a 30 mm (1.2 in) depth.
- Glass: Specify reflex-reducing museum glass with UV protection to preserve the pigment integrity over time.
- Materials: Ensure all mounting tapes and adhesives are strictly acid-free (syrafria).
Environment & Longevity
While the paper is ISO 9706 compliant for age resistance, the work should be placed in a stable environment. Avoid areas of high humidity or direct, prolonged exposure to high-intensity UV light. Do not place the work directly above active heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces.
All works are shipped with tracked delivery. Insurance is included where available through our shipping partners. We ship to collectors worldwide.
