Orbiting Frames
December 10, 2014
Inspirational Art
Strangely, this week has become all about frames, which, of course, fits with the theme of the new issue, but my thoughts and the pieces I am being drawn to are these multilayer frames. So, here is one other option for playing with multiple frames in one piece.
I love this idea of creating windows and multiples of them layered on top of one another, but not lining them up. The tiered windows still bring focus to the center image as frames will do, but the off-kilter layering of them creates such vibrant, yet contained movement. These are a beautiful bit of genius created by Vee (Veesuel), who has several versions of these; primarily with more solid colored surface treatments. I am rather fond of the cane work versions, as it adds to the energy of the pieces; an energy matched by the movement the varied placement of the frames create.
Vee does some beautifully finished work in a variety of styles. And her site is quite pretty and easy to navigate. So, why not grab a cup of something yummy and warm and go visit her for a while?
