Recentering
Blind emboss on handmade paper | 2023
Becoming a parent, by any means, represents a complete and permanent paradigm shift in a person’s life. It can be dizzying, orienting oneself in a new reality. For Cheryl Humphreys, images of labyrinths swirled in her head when she created Recentering, the first series of works since becoming a mother. She visualized going farther away from the center of the maze, just as it seemed she was getting closer. But now, as a parent, there isn't just one center. There are two. The work and the process offered Humphreys a return to a familiar and repetitive practice, a chance to find herself again, orient, and re-center herself while integrating her new identity as a mother. The slow, steady paths, embossed on paper, change shape with the light of day, tracking and reflecting time—offering the artist and viewer alike a tool for relaxation, meditation, and self-discovery.

Framing & Mounting
Framing
Our frames are produced from the best quality wood, primarily from Italy. Each is custom cut and assembled by hand to fit your art. Hanging hardware included!
THIN GALLERY FRAME
This modern profile was designed for artists and photographers. Narrow on the front and deep on the sides, our slim mouldings provide a clean, sharp frame for your art, and allows all focus to be on your gorgeous work.
3/4" wide; 1 1/8" deep
UV - PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC
Our acrylic is more expensive than glass, but we use it because it’s clearer, far more impact resistant, and protects your art against UV rays. Framing-grade acrylic has become a new standard in framing because of its “clear” benefits.
THE FULL BLEED
Works are framed flush with the edge of your print without a mat. Request border modifications and spacers, which keep the work from touching the glass.
THE MAT
Adds a white core mat with a bevel cut opening to the edge of your print. If your work has a signature or edition numbering, we will automatically mat around it unless otherwise specified.
We use 4-ply, conservation-grade, acid-free mat board. We match whites and off-whites to your exact piece. Acid-free materials protect your art from yellowing or becoming brittle.
THE FLOAT
Floating a piece allows for a full view of the face and sides of the artwork. Floating is recommended for original drawings and paintings or any piece produced on specially trimmed paper.
“For me, Disco Nap is a quiet reminder to dance whenever possible.”
