Teardrops
DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022
Often asymmetrical and simple, Ikebana is the centuries-old Japanese practice of arranging flowers to convey a specific feeling or emotion. The newest series of prints from Dana Veraldi, Ikebana Imagined Drawings, is rendered from the artist’s own Ikebana practice, which she began during the early days of the pandemic using plants and flowers found on walks in the park. Made with black walnut ink from Cynthia Gehrie’s Harvest Studio in Iowa, each print is named after song lyrics Veraldi would listen to while drawing, and also refers to places the arrangements were sourced from. The resulting work—which incorporates depictions of both real flora and imagined—encourages the viewer to reflect on the feelings that are inspired by each composition.

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.
