How this work was made and presented

Studio construction description

Recycled materials and a tactile invitation

Alchemy Arts describes Rake’s outstretched arms and palms as climbable, with rubber tire matting, steel and UV-reactive paint among its materials. The studio reports 80 percent recycled content. Public climbing at a new site still requires a confirmed use and maintenance plan.
