Gauze #13
DESCRIPTION
Handwoven cotton and linen | 2019
Following frequent doctor’s visits for ongoing medical treatment, Weiner collects the medical gauze used on her body and transforms these blood-stained bandages into woven textiles to explore concepts of control, structure, and transformation. Using hand-dyed thread on her digital jacquard loom, Weiner renders the gauze on a 1:1 scale, replicating the spontaneous abstract form that the bodily fluid formed on the bandage. This duplicate becomes a sterilized relic, memorializing the often overlooked and discarded material while creating a quasi-self portrait through the imprint or residue of the artist’s body. This work — her wounds — reflects Weiner’s struggle to come to terms with illness and the oftentimes unforgiving body, calling into question how one can shift the narrative around illness into one of healing.

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.
