Black MDF cut to size for photographic prints, by Nora

Description of Nora

I used black MDF as a base for fine art photographic prints of my works on Epson Velvet paper, good for the rendering of blacks. In the center of the panel, I applied Forex of slightly smaller dimensions than the photographic print so that it would stand out in relief against the base. The effect was supposed to be black on black but with this live thickness between the image and the support. I thought the shaping of the corners and the beveling softened the whole thing, which was displayed along with my other works at the Rubertelli hair salon in Milan this March.

How I realized this project

I ordered two black MDF panels already of the right size for my photos, shaped at the corners and with beveled edges, from TOSIZE.ie. I just created a central thickness to give relief to the prints, gluing a sheet of Forex in the center of the panels and subsequently, on the Forex, the photographic print with a special spray glue for photos. Finally, I added the metal triangle on the upper edge for hanging the panel on the wall via a nail.
