framing questions

1] what role does a frame play in the perception of the work it is framing?

- size: oversized, undersized, perfect fit
- material: plastic, wood, metal, beads, fiber
- flexibility: stiff, bendable
- position: tilted, in front, in back
- function: stationary, rearrangeable, moldable
- visibility/opacity
2] what happens if/when the subject leaks from the frame?

When (if) "perfect fit" occurs, does/can the frame disappear?
Would this be a form of unification of frame and frame content?
What evidence of their having once, if they have been, been separate? or an imperfect fit?

In a leak, is there necessarily some inadequacy in frame, in content? Disobedience involved? Escaping the frame? --only to move into another frame (once observed)?

What are roles of observation in frame systems? In framing?
