The boxy nature of this series works so well with the surface textures & details to create such pleasing objects, it's a fine way to present the prints/paintings, nicely subverting the assumption one might make that a print &/or painting on paper would be flat. Best wishes for the 'Elements' exhibition, hope it goes well.
