Float mount your work with a reveal in a natural wood frame so the work is floating above the backing board and behind the glazing. 

Mount

Float mount the artwork on archival foam core so all the edges are visible.

Margin

Leave a 1 ¾ to 2 “ reveal (visible backing) around all sides. Do not mat over the artwork.

Spacer

Use a spacer so glazing does not touch the artwork.

Raised

Lift the artwork 1/16 to 3/16“ off the backing to create a shadow gap.

Glazing

Use glass or acrylic. If budget allows, go for anti-reflective and UV protection.

Frame

Natural wood (walnut or oak) or white, matte finish, square profile.
