Visualisation of framed works
(L) still life with burnt twigs and bandages with the inner-frame painted floral pale pink and eucalyptus grey-green with an overall creamy white coloured frame.
(R) still life with rulers with a pale grey inner frame at the top and an overall creamy white coloured frame.
The frames have been designed by Rosemary Laing and reference works by Australian women painters such as Dora Chapman of the late 1940s, post-World War II period. At that time, small paintings by women artists featured frames where the inner-frame was highlighted with key colours from the painted image itself.
Laing notes that colouring the inner-side sections of her frames here creates an interior colour glow, subtly empathetic to the photograph as well as providing a gentle emphasis to the sense of structural container that is the frame.
