Making AMI Paintings
The AMI project is a series of ten acrylic on canvas paintings: eight (2cm x 61cm x 98cm), one (3cm x 75cm x 142cm) and one (3cm x 88cm x 157cm). The canvas is stretched over a plywood panel with integral stretcher bars, with carefully folded corners that minimize folds and lines. Signatures on two edges, maintain a clean front surface and make the signature visible when the painting is hanging with any side up. Canvases are mounted on custom flat panel frames with stand-off spacers. Brass hardware is installed to facilitate hanging with any side up. I prefer exposed brass hanging hardware but it may be hidden. Frame, hardware and unique standoff mounting are all part of the original design and should remain intact.
