Description
A canvas wall art, 100cm tall, in green. At 100cm wide it is wider than a standard interior door. A piece like this sets the register of a room. Everything else can be quiet if one wall is not.
Natural sits with almost anything, which is the practical argument for it: it does not commit the room to a colour scheme the way a painted finish does. Jute is a coarse, matt fibre with a natural biscuit colour that dyes unevenly and looks better for it. It is strong under tension, which is why it has been made into rope for centuries. Pine is a softwood, so it marks more readily than oak or beech — and takes a paint or a wash far better, because the grain drinks it in. Marks in pine read as age rather than damage. Expanded polystyrene is used where a form needs to be large and weigh almost nothing. It gives the shape without the mass, which is what allows an oversized piece to hang or stand on a light fixing.
It hangs on a d-ring. Two D-rings hang from two hooks, which spreads the load and holds the piece square. Measure the distance between the rings and transfer it to the wall — a spirit level between the two marks does the rest.
Check the fixing before the frame: weight decides whether a picture hook will do or the wall needs a plug, and plasterboard needs an anchor whatever the weight.
Dusting is all it asks for, with a damp cloth on the finish and nothing solvent or abrasive.

Frequently Asked
How does it hang?
On a d-ring, using an ordinary wall fixing suited to your wall. There is no rail or specialist bracket to source.
How heavy is it?
3.4kg.
What size is it?
100cm wide by 100cm high and 4cm deep. The full dimensions are in the specification table.
What is it made of?
Pine, jute and polystyrene. The full composition is in the specification table.
Is it suitable for a bathroom?
No. It is not specified for a humid room, and a damp environment will show at the edges of the finish in time.
Will it look exactly like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. Pine varies from piece to piece, so grain, tone and marking differ.
