Upon seeing the work I plan to exhibit, tutors suggested because of the size, it would be ideal for an enhancement to be made to the original painting to put more focus and attention into it to highlight it's minimalistic presence. I completely agreed after listening to their suggestion because when observing other student's work, I noticed how the difference in scale was overpowering in a way. Richard came to me and pitched the idea of a 'box-frame' to help bring out the painting a little more because the original board was rather thin. The four 2x1 wooden blocks were joined together to create the frame and that frame was then covered on one side in PVA glue and joined together with my painting before being left overnight to dry.
