This big stack of beams soon will be transformed into the huge sculptures for Kleiner Park... The larger beams came off the old farm; they were used for a bridge over a canal, & before that they were part of train cars--twice recycled : ) The other smaller beams came from Diamond Street Recycling; not sure what they were in their former life...
The old beams are each around 40' long, & really heavy!
So heavy that it took 2 forklifts to carry each beam....
I love all the plates & rivets & holes; cool details that will remain & become part of the sculptures. Each big beam will become part of the base of each sculpture; and everything will be built around it.
Next week, fabrication will really start to get rolling; will be updating throughout the process : ) Stay tuned...
