the country i come from (ten landscapes VII)
DESCRIPTION
Quilted linen and canvas, pine and brass brad frame | 2022
Inspired by his midwest upbringing and created after a two-month residency in Norway, this series of textile works by Ethan Caflisch renders flattened, minimalist landscapes from various types of fabric. “the country i come from” simplifies the viewer’s perspective into distinct planes, as seams between bold colors create a horizon line. Also exploring color theory and abstraction, the woks invite the viewer to fill in the blanks about the vista upon which they gaze. Created after two months away from his sewing machine, the works are an outpouring of creativity and nostalgia about the constant pull of home.

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.
