 When Keith asked me this question I was toying with the idea of
presenting some of my work unframed and was being gently discouraged by
the gallery owner from doing that. Now that the show I was working on
has opened, I can give a fuller answer to the question. Of the 23 pieces
in the show, 11 are mounted on panels rather than being framed under
glass. They look cool, if I say so myself, and of the five pieces that
sold at last night's opening, three were on panels and two were
traditionally framed. The gallery owner was happy and I don't think I'll
be hearing any more about it.
