In Fox’s own words:
A vessel, it seems to me, is a curious thing. It exists in service of that which it has the purpose of holding. The word "vessel" brings forth sometimes dialectical thoughts of hollowness and space, fullness and emptiness, object-hood and porousness, stillness and possibility. For me it is also imbued with the bodily messages of expectation, dependence, pregnancy, functionality, loneliness, fragility and linage. Those are the considerations and imagery I explore through this series.

The notion of functionality is particularly poignant in this series when the work addresses one of the more miraculous functions of the female body. The term “function” often stands at the nexus of any debates about art vs. design and it hovers over the themes, forms and histories behind this body of work in a very productive and pleasing way.

Our typical framing practice for these woven works for them to be stitched to a linen-wrapped backing board with 1-inch of space around each side. A spacer is added to the frame to keep the artwork from touching the plexiglass.

UV-filtering plexiglass is used for all frames, an option that has become the industry standard. Plexiglass is lighter, scratch-resistant & shatter-resistant (essential for shipping). It also provides more UV protection and less glare than glass.

Artist Info

Alyson Fox

Alyson Fox (b. 1979 El Paso, TX) is an artist and designer working across many mediums. She received a MFA from the University of Colorado where she focused on sculpture, and a BFA in Photography from Florida state University.

Fox is consistently driven by curiosity. Untethered by medium and pledging no fine art or design world allegiances, she is a true descendent of the Bauhaus ethos of the multi-faceted maker. Shortly after graduating she brought her training in photography and drawing along with her unique material sensibilities to surface design projects. It makes sense that her independent studio output in the subsequent years has all involved an engagement with and experience of spaces for living.

The best way to love your prints and ensure a long, happy life is certainly to have them framed. A high quality frame can prevent damage, fading and also show your prints off in their best possible light. If you are interested in having your print framed through our site, take a look at our framing information page.

We’ve found that the best way to avoid damage, is to ship prints carefully packaged in sturdy tubes. A day or two under some heavy books and they'll be nice and flat. However, keep in mind that because of the nature of cotton paper, it will respond to differing levels of humidity in the air. Sometimes paper will lay flat and other times it will slightly ripple. This is natural and a lovely reminder of its physicality as an organic object, embrace its paper personality! If you’re planning to frame your print, just take them rolled up to your framer and they can expertly take care of the flattening process.
