Description:

This work was a commission from the Three Rivers Arts Festival. It was the Public Art Component for the festival and has a life of three weeks. The armatures were built at the Carnegie Mellon University Theatre Shop and trucked to the site where they were assembled. With the help of several students and one full-time paid assistant, it took three weeks to finish the project. The site was truly incredible.
