Presentation of artwork

I wanted to show some images of how I present my artwork when it leaves my studio. I try to make sure that it is complimented with a mount and a backing board, it is important to use only conservation grade and acid free, the quality of the mounts is vital. The artwork is never glued to the backing board, only fixed in place with strong PH7- 70 acid free mounting tape. The works on paper are signed and dated in the margin, I always like to show the rough edge of the artwork as I feel this helps to show the creative hand, also contrasts with the crisp white edge of the mount, only if the margin of the artwork is too messy will I apply a second mount to present the finished piece. All work is also signed and dated on the reverse.
