Sink mat for broken glass plate negative

Broken glass plate negative. Goal To design a simple protective enclosure for the two pieces of the glass plate negative, that allows the user to visualize the image as a whole. Treatment A sink mat was created by layering museum board and Volera foam, and "sinks" cut to fit the broken pieces along with thumb notches for ease of lifting. A portfolio of e-flute board, buckram, and cotton ties was built up around the sink mat to provide a protective enclosure that is easily stored on edge.
