“I have been working with Mount Framing from the beginnings of the business. I needed to work with someone closely on unique bespoke solutions for my artistic practice. From small reframing jobs to large scale installations, Bryden's services have become a crucial part of my production process. His thoughtful approach, creative solutions and willingness to work with me outside the box are really important to me, as is his continuous commitment to working with me to use the most sustainable materials and processes while committing to archival quality.”

“We are keen on businesses using sustainable practices and we love the ethos of what Mount Framing is doing - making bespoke, Australian-made frames using local reclaimed timber. Using reclaimed timber this way gives their frames unique personalities that respond directly to the artwork inside. We honestly haven't found anyone else doing this and it makes the final pieces truly special. Bryden was great with communication and gave us lots of timber and profile options to develop a frame we were really happy with. The attention to detail - from the profile of the frame's edge to the final finish choice - were all really considered. Already have other pieces ready to frame - thanks Bryden!”
