First Love
DESCRIPTION
Archival pigment print from 120 mm color film | 2016
London-based artist Katie Burdon’s take on color and form show a beautiful fascination with the surreal. “At its essence, my work has always related back to my own body; reflections of pleasure, pain, growth - inviting introspection into the ambiguity and complexity of emotions. I hope for a personal layer to manifest in my work that acts as a bridge of empathy towards the viewer.”

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.

During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Burdon focused on working with models who were also couples as both a measure of safety and a study of intimacy in isolation.
