Hinging The process of adhering artwork to a backing or mounting board. Acid-free tape is attached to the top of the work and another strip is placed over the top to secure it on both surfaces. Try to hinge only from the top so the artwork is able to hang freely. This helps prevent the piece from buckling, as it enables the different components — artwork, frame, mat, mounting board, etc. — to expand and contract at their own rates with the temperature and humidity. |
