This triptych by Chris Gollon required three tray frames, the wood profile was custom made in obeche. The wood was then stained black, sealed and waxed. 3mm plywood backing panels were finished in the same manner as the moulding and fixed to the frames. Then the three frames were hinged to form a single unit.
When closed the backing panels of the outer wings are visible and so we made a feature of the screws securing the the canvases to the plywood backs. These brass screws thus became a decorative element of the final piece.
This triptych's overall open size is 910 x 1170mm.
You may also see Chris Gollon's Fourteen Stations of The Cross installed at St. John's Bethnal Green
