Sixpenny worked with Dubbeldam to create a parametric model of the installation to balance the colour shift and gradient
This model was broken down into strand sequences and used to organize all the parts to achieve the gradient effect
We pre-assembled all of the strands using custom tooling
Install was completed over a number of days in the fall of 2020
