What's in a frame?

Trying out some old pieces in frames. Interesting to see how the frame revives (or occasionally kills) a work and its intentions.
A grid of nine colorful and varied artworks, mostly abstract and filled with visual excess, against a neutral background.

One of Scotland's great artists, John Byrne, is sadly no longer with us. Here's a clip from an STV report on a mural he created in Partick in 1975. movingimage.nls.uk/film/T2287/7...
Screen shot from a video depicting in colour a section from a wall mural in Partick Glasgow painted by John Byrne. The image is of a stylised child in a dark buttoned coat with white collar with a hand held towards a yellow dove, behind are blue skies and clouds.

The chance to start afresh.... Keen to follow poets, writers of climate fiction and horror, experimental filmmakers, literary magazines, lovers of Care Bears and Micro Machines.
