Upton Residencies Commissioned Project: 4 works

All are available as each edition I make has 5 pieces in it. They are made to order, based on the specific size best fits your space.

The concept for a new construction building in Providence, Rhode Island revolved around the history of place. The original business housed on the property was a laundromat. Working with an image captured before demolition, the color story for the new interior, and other design elements, I created photographic art that I had dye-sublimated onto aluminum locally, each containing a hidden word relating to the project.

This is a limited editioned photographic work that is dye-sublimated onto aluminum. This edition has sold, but there are a few more available for fabrication, at any size you desire. There is about a 10-day turnaround.

Each of my limited editioned photographic works has a hidden love note within, and comes with a certificate of authenticity and a magnifying lens to aid your search.

It has been dye-sublimated onto aluminum, complete with a float bracket and gallery wire.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sublimation is the process of going from a solid to a gas, back to a solid - skipping the liquid state. My art is printed with dye, adhered to pretreated aluminum, and placed in a custom press where it is heated to temperatures exceeding 380˚F. While being subjected to extreme heat and pressure, the dye turns into a gas and is pressed into the metal at the molecular level, where it solidifies beneath the surface. As the dye cools, it is permanently infused within the metal substrate.
ARCHIVAL
This work is guaranteed against any sign of degradation, fading or discoloration, for a minimum of 65 years when displayed indoors and away from direct sunlight. A microfiber cloth and a household cleaner can be used to clean the surface. Please protect your investment according to these recommendations. Should degradation occur when it has been displayed in the above conditions, a replacement will be provided at no cost. I work with Blazing Editions in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH
Dyes are infused beneath the exterior coating through sublimation. This makes my artwork more durable than traditional paper and canvas because it can’t be scratched, ripped, or peeled.
FIRE RETARDANT
Sublimated aluminum holds up against high heat, which is necessary for artwork hung in specific corporate and public environments.
