For Pamela Golden's 'The Word' exhibition at the Gimpel Fils Gallery, miniature paintings required a framing solution offering solemnity and stature.

The work was then float mounted with paper wrapped fillets and glazed in Denglas. Thus the paintings appeared like jewels in a confident understated housing.
