DESCRIPTION
Handwoven textile cast into concrete | 2021
In the new stunning series of handwoven works cast in concrete, Crystal Gregory continues to use cloth construction as a fundamental center, drawing a clear connection between the lines of thread laid perpendicularly through a warp and the construction of architectural spaces. In a meditation on privacy, the works use mediums that define space and create shelter—although it’s only the textile that has the advantage of flexibility, with the ability to fold, drape, move, and change to its surroundings. The resulting series sparks conversation on the parameters of weaving and architecture—their process, their utility, and their grid. They are sturdy and stable but at the same time malleable and absorbent.

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.
“My work, I believe, lives in a realm of universal experiences because of the materials I choose. I hope to draw attention to that by representing them to the viewer in an unfamiliar way, allowing for a re-recognition whatever that means to the individual.”
