Here’s a fun project in our queue. It’s three different (but similar) ceiling sculptures for three locations at the same office facility. Each sculpture will run about 75 feet long, with a walkway down the middle. This installation is scheduled for November, so we’ll have more updates soon!
The Woodlands Hospital Ceiling Sculpture
Here are renderings of another collaboration we’re doing with artist Daniel Goldstein. This kinetic sculpture will hang more than 50 feet tall in a hospital atrium based in The Woodlands, Texas. We’re excited to see amazing design come together!
Annapolis Outdoor Kinetic Sculpture Installation
Matt just returned from Maryland where he installed the outdoor kinetic sculpture at a private residence. The pictures below show the progression—from crated mobile and empty concrete pads to the full assembled piece. It has some great movement, and we’re so happy with how it looks in front of that gorgeous home!
Lake Tahoe Light Fixture
As a mobile maker, Matt is always admiring lovely stuff that hangs from ceilings. This fun light fixture was spotted at a Lake Tahoe resort where Matt attended his in-laws’ family reunion. (Also feel free to admire the group’s hardcore hikers overlooking Emerald Bay.)
Outdoor Kinetic Sculpture Crate
If you’ve ever wondered how a 15-foot diameter kinetic sculpture travels cross country, here ya go. In an enormous, carefully created crate. (Apron-wearing guy included to show scale.)
Outdoor Sculpture Progress
After some shipping delays on materials and manufacturing and shop-space hiccups, we are nearly (finally!) finished with the Annapolis outdoor kinetic sculpture. The first picture shows how beefy the base is, and the next pictures show the rusted steel finish. We are so excited to get this installed for the world’s most patient clients.
Danville Science Center Mobile
Five years ago we created a mobile for the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond. The science museum has now commissioned us to make a mobile for a satellite museum in Danville, Virginia. We’re creating a Progression-style piece as a nod to the neighboring Dan River. This piece will span the two-story atrium of the newly remodeled science center. We’re excited to dig in!
Nebraska Hospital Ceiling Sculpture
Well darn it, we didn’t get good pictures of the entire Nebraska hospital ceiling sculpture without packaging debris all over the place, but here are some lovely shots of portions of the mobile—and some full shots with the debris that you’ll just have to overlook…
Fingers crossed we’ll get our hands on some professional shots of this ceiling sculpture, because we’re so happy with how it turned out! It spans the hospital’s cafeteria, and it adds a fun, playfulness to the space.
Huge shout-out to artist extraordinaire Daniel Goldstein for the amazing design and for the opportunity to collaborate on such a beautiful project!
Nebraska Installation Pictures
The ceiling sculpture at the Nebraska hospital is installed and complete! The installation went smoothly (including the looooong road trip from Oregon to Nebraska). Once Matt and Ben get the space cleaned up, we’ll share prettier pictures of the completed piece.
Travel Safely!
A not-so-glamorous aspect of mobile making is ensuring all parts and materials travel safely to their final destination. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes peek at the packaging process for the Nebraska hospital ceiling sculpture.
Matt and Ben are actually road-tripping from Oregon to Nebraska, so be sure to admire the shelving they created in the back of the cargo van to ensure all the parts are safe and sound for the journey.
And check out Matt’s impressive parking job inside the shop—you know, just to ensure the van and/or mobile didn’t get stolen overnight from our downtown studio space. (Fortunately, no people, shelves, or laser printers were damaged in the parking process.)
