From a trio of small-scale silkscreen prints produced with Haft-Candell that capture imagery from a series of “flip books” she created from multiple, small-scale watercolors. Depicted within the series of books are her familiar vocabulary of forms; knots, combs, braids, chains, and loops. For the artist, each of these symbols carry both social histories and personal memories, and they appear repeatedly across her ceramic sculptures and works on paper.
Often Haft-Candell’s ceramic work appears to teeter between motion and stasis; forms appear ready to fold up on themselves, or perhaps stretch apart. Using the flip-book structure, Haft-Candell is able to offer these forms a looped movement through their illustrated animation. Three such illustrations have been selected for this print series and behave almost like film stills.

Our typical framing practice is to float mount prints with 1-inch (2cm) of space around the print. This is a method of framing that keeps the art fully visible in the frame and leaves the edges of the cotton papers exposed. A spacer is added to the frame to keep the artwork from touching the plexiglass. Float mounting requires adhering the print to an acid free foam core back or mat board using acid free linen tape.
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.
