Figuratively Speaking: The Frames



I have nearly completed the eight thinner frames for Figuratively Speaking, and the five large ones are in the early stages of development. This framing process has consumed me for the last few weeks. Each frame had to be hand-made, each side, shelf, partition, support and front piece cut individually to fit. I have 13 frames in total, with 10 shelves each and 1-2 partitions in each shelf. This has been a mammoth task but seeing the first 2 painted today has given me the motivation to complete the set.

Roughly 150 people have contributed and participated in Figuratively Speaking at different stages: the painting/decorating of the figures and the making of their "little worlds". I feel I owe it to the participants to show the full collection in a beautiful and impressive manner, thus I will continue to push ahead for the completion of the frames for Mapped Festival next Friday.
