TWO HOUSINGS: MODIFYING A STANDARD BOX AND CONSTRUCTING AN OVERSIZE SINK MAT
PATRICIA INGRAM
ABSTRACT—Two housing solutions were devised by the author: one for unique and delicate art objects made from brittle, dried leaves and another for a group of 12 large maps. The housing designed for the “leaf portraits” uses a standard print box and a deep double sink with a friction mount as a base to secure and protect the leaves. The map housing is an oversize sink mat made of Coroplast polyflute and Fome-cor. Difficulties with adhesion to the Coroplast are briefly discussed, and a detailed construction outline is given.
