Our latest corporate framing and installation project was at the new Simulation Center at Maine Medical Center. We were contacted by Paul Lewandowski and Erin Anderson from the architect firm SMRT to frame and install 22 pieces in time for the grand opening at the beginning of October, 2010. With only two weeks from start to finish we met with them in the gallery to finalized frame choices, mat design and hanging hardware.
The job included building five extra-deep shadowboxes for pictures of medical instruments. The "stent" shadowbox is fabricated in-house using two stock frames, removing the lip from one and joining them back-to-back to get the 3.5 inches of depth.
These two large photographs are framed with Neilsen Florentine Silver aluminum frames and hung using a three-point secuity hanging system. In addition to deterring theft, the hanging system eliminates shifting of the pieces against the wall.
Down one of the hallways we hung 6 historical photos of emergency rooms and doctors in action. The mat had healthy 5-inch margins and was lined with a small frame called a fillett.
