This work is available on paper or mounted on plywood which has been hand-painted at its borders in the same acrylics as the print and then framed in a 3.3cm-deep wooden frame made by the artist and painted with several layers of Farrow & Ball - Pitch black No. 256 Estate Emulsion, creating a highly finished work which is ready to be hung
