I was considering putting ornate frames around my prints and wanted to see how it looked. What do you think? Does it take too much away from the image itself? Does it help, hurt, do nothing for my image?
I really like the new direction. The wooden blocks definitely speak much more directly to your own childhood, and the closeup perspective turns them into landscapes, or the view from inside a maze. It's exactly the kind of immersiveness, and the space for the viewer's imagination, that was missing last semester.
I like the fragmented images here, mostly because I like grids. I'm not totally sure what you gain from the big gilt frames. It feels like an addendum to the images, like a side comment, more than a real part of the work. In person, it could be distracting, especially if you were to decide to keep the line work light and black-and-white (which you might not, of course). See how the prints go, but my feeling is that the frames would just overwhelm them.
