Way back before that global pandemic, we completed a ceiling sculpture for a new hospital in Kissimmee, Florida. We’re currently working additional sculptural elements for the hospital. Pictured below is the backside of an illuminated cross that will be displayed in the hospital’s chapel.
This is a departure from projects we typically do and we’ve enjoyed the challenge! Stay tuned for final pics.
The birds installation at the All Classical Radio offices is complete! Matt and Ben worked through two nights and part of a day to get the 110 colorful Vaux’s swifts suspended overhead. It’s always fulfilling to complete an installation, and it was extra fun to do another local project!
Shout out to Cole, our favorite person right now, for to his ability to string together shapes for hours on end without compliant. Thanks to him, the end is (finally!) in sight for the Jacksonville mobile fabrication.
Next week, we’re installing these birds into the new offices of All Classical Radio, which is just down the street from our shop space. The birds are an abstract version of the Vaux’s swift, a species of bird that roost our neighborhood each September during their fall migration. The birds incorporate the colors of All Classical’s logo, and the birds will span the office space’s ceiling. We’re thrilled to be doing such a fun project for a local organization!
Our contract prevents us from sharing too many details about this particular project, but let’s just say we’ll be up to our eyeballs in hexagons this winter. This project involves a handful of 50-foot-tall mobiles that will incorporate lots of hexagons. Check back for progress pics!
Just coming up for air to say we’re making progress on stringing together those 310 strands. Here, they’re neatly wrapped and labeled to make installation a breeze*.
*Correction: Matt and Ben say installations are never a breeze. But hey, here’s to optimism!
In March, we showed renderings of a wall mural mobile we’re making in collaboration with artist Daniel Goldstein for a corporate office building in Jacksonville, Florida. We’re also making the client a ceiling sculpture that will include 310 stands of 2,500 shapes. Below are the materials that we will spend every waking moment stringing together during the coming weeks. Wish us luck—and see you on the other side!
We got this picture last month from our clients showing the SMU Peruna sculpture in the nearly completed space. Their very kind email said that during a hard-hat tour with key stake holders, the piece “got a lot of ‘wows’” and “lots of gasps” and that it was “definitely a show piece.” Aw shucks, we love that kind of feedback.
We’re hoping to catch a glimpse of the sculpture during this college football season!
Matt and his wife just returned from a trip to Norway where they hiked, visited museums, saunaed, and cold plunged into fjords. But one highlight was visiting Oslo’s Deichman Bjørvika Public Library where Matt admired delightful and inspiring things hanging from the ceilings.
