Crating a painting with 3D elements



Hi,

 

We are currently trying to make a new crate for a painting by Georg Herold, which consists of stretched linen on a strainer, onto which he glued 9 bricks (red bricks used in construction), with a thick rubber cement.  The bricks simply follow gravity, pulling the fabric tight downward, and they tend to giggle a lot when the piece is moved.  They are aligned vertically at about 3-4 inches apart, some are closer due to the gravity pull.  Does anybody have suggestions on a packing solution that would facilitate the move to and from the crate and the wall?  Ideally we would want the bricks to be braced somehow so that the piece can travel safely without the risk of ripping the canvas if the bricks move too much…

 

Thank you for your help!
