Should I continue using a smaller format or not?

This is another smalller siized Mylar completed in San Francisco over the winter. This example was shown to Mr. George Billis of George Billis Gallery in Chelsea, Nyc,...
Mr. Billis suggested working in the larger size Mylar (24 x 36inches).... like those in the Chelsea series.. would be a better choice, and he believed this size work to be too tight..and expressed that I never work in that size again.

I also learned in that meeting how poorly my fraiming choice was.. I sprayed mounted the Mylar onto presentation board and framed tthem without matting them, in off white wood frames.....which Mr Billis felt were choking the peices.

I am now rethinking the whole framing approach... Mr. Billis 's advice proved to be invaluable for the presentation of my work..and I am very greatful for his input..
Thank your Mr. Billis...
I loved his ideas of mounting the work onto metal and of course I agree with him about floating them on mat board which would allow them to breath.

However, I am not sure wether I am ready to give up making the smaller work and only work in the larger 24x 36 inch size. what do you think?????

I recently discovered my old acetate collages on boxes, which were stored in the attic...and because of making these more graphic design peices I found it easier to edit them down, too bad I got rid of the majority of the work last year.. I will post the edited collages when I get my camera back from my friend Andre...
