2011 Pan Am Games Gold Medal Shadow Box
In 2012, I had the honour of framing kayaker Ryan Cochrane’s 2011 Pan Am Games gold medal when he and rowing partner, Hugues Fournel, won the Men’s K-2 200 metre event.
The gold medal was attached to the background matboard by using a “spider mount” made from archival clear polyester film. The ribbon was hand-stitched in place. A classic style, walnut colour, wood moulding from Roma Moulding was chosen for the frame. Tru Vue’s conservation clear glass was chosen for its 99% UV protection.
