Joy Davis | joyproject - "Ontogeny of a Mother: on becoming a vessel"
This work is an archive for my present and future self: a way to both remember and parse layers of assumptions about body, creation, power, vulnerability, transformation, and autonomy. The installation of casts are strewn about from wall to suspension as if blown by an errant wind; four sections video loops are mapped on the casts and lasts for a total of 12 minutes before repeating.

Framing
Please contact us for Charlotte-area frame recommendations and art installers.
Frame Recommendations
- Canvases should be hung without glass.
- Due to changes in temperature and humidity (even in indoor spaces), it’s important that a canvas is stretched upon a supporting frame correctly to avoid altering or damaging the piece (i.e. cracking paint layers).
- Any works on paper should be framed with archival grade UV blocking glass or plexiglass (acrylic) with archival grade acid-free matting and foam board.
Storing Your Artwork
- If your artwork is on paper and unframed, please note these works are extremely fragile and should avoid being handled. If you must handle unframed works on paper, wear clean cotton or fresh disposable gloves and unpack the artwork on a large, clean, dry, dust-free surface. Be very careful when unpacking the work and remove all adhesive tape to avoid it catching and sticking to the work. Store unframed works on paper flat instead of rolled, in a dry, dark environment.
- In the event that your framed artwork is not yet hung, you will want to store your art pieces safely and soundly to avoid any possibilities for damage. When it comes to framed paintings, climate is crucial. You will want to store a painting in a similar type of climate in which it will be hung--otherwise, you run the risk of compromising the artwork due to intense discrepancies between temperature and humidity.
