Jane Dosman Paper Conservation

A simple humidification and flattening as seen in raking light made a big difference to this print.

Oil paint is a medium I rarely work with. This oil painting on particle board needed a simple cleaning.

Adhesive overload!

Adhesive overload!

This treatment was challenging. The paper separated into segments along the crease lines when washing. Due to the severe creasing I did a Dacron lining (Dacron material attached to Plexi, lining attached to Dacron material, poster attached to lining) to prevent the paper from moving while drying. The poster was so big I had to work on it half at a time, then join the halves together at the end. But it is much improved!
