They are mounted on wood stretchers, ready to hang on the wall.<\/p>\n<p>The images are presented here with the artist\u2019s suggestion that they be mounted on the wall as a \u2018diptych\u2019 set: two identical framed images, hung separately, side by side, and usually with one of them rotated in reverse orientation to its partner.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_395\" style=\"width: 815px\"

id=\"caption-attachment-395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bananiers #1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The idea that inspired this double-image configuration was conceived when the artist experimented with their layout, and discovered a dynamic movement of energies that this layout visually evokes, creating an effect that resembles a fluid \u2018Dance of Nature\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The aesthetic of this double configuration is, however, only a suggestion that the artist presents, with ideas for interior design themes in mind, and which has received a warm reception in the artist\u2019s design installations for home and business projects.<\/p>\n<p>There remains the option to purchase the single image on its own, for wall mounting in whichever orientation is desired.<\/p>\n<p>For sizes and specifications,
