We really love well-considered, totally custom/idiosyncratic frames — to us the effect is to widen an artwork’s separation from the rest of the world, encouraging an exclusivity of focus — something like a conceptual moat. 

Artist Emma Courtney Clarice Cook’s frames do just this; the rounded, warm, middle-brown wood, with taller sides, thoroughly push for this intimate focalizing — the narrowing is rewarded by finely wrought, scratchy lined scenes, patterns and inky visions.
