“In total, the piece encompasses 8,000 plastic discs — each cut by the team at Sixpenny Architectural Fabrication and threaded onto one of 650 steel wires that terminate in weighted tungsten fishing sinkers. To prepare for installation, these discs were then packed into individual bags labelled with Battleship-like coordinates. Once on-site, each cable was hung from its corresponding section of a metal grid structure painted white to blend in with the ceiling above.”

Working with Blackwell Structural Engineers, the foundation consisted of twelve Chance Foundation Solutions SS5 helical piles with bolted removable base connections. Our low-impact equipment made a graceful solution for this well-landscaped location.”
