Research notes for project planning

How this work was made and presented

Artist’s published installation guidance, checked October 10, 2026

Installation time excludes some operating features

The artist’s published specification separates sculpture assembly from its lighting and breathing systems. It describes two to three days for installation without a wooden base, or three to four with one, plus a suggested weather contingency day; lighting and breathing are excluded from that estimate. Deinstallation is also a multiday operation. Crane size depends on vehicle access, and the anchoring approach changes the equipment list. These details are a starting point for a site-specific discussion, not a construction plan.
