Over 1000 cuts, 4000 welds, 3 crates, 2,400 miles later... This bohemoth is done. Each panel is between 3-5 feet wide and 50-80 pounds. The color behind each panel is paint that was applied after the install.
Assembled over 5 weeks in Seattle, and installed in Cleveland, Oh in 3 days above death stairs. I'm happy to report of no injuries from this piece.
Made from 1/4" square stock.

I find this so creative and inspirational. I wouldn't even know how to begin a piece like this. It's a wonder to look at.

There is no way I could've fit that in my place. It's installed in my parents' place. It's huge! Thanks man. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!

All I have to say from a fabricator's point of view is that is freakin' amazing patience work, must've been a bitch to weld. It's also a beautiful piece of art. I want to run my fingers over it and have it feel like water - it's so fluid!

Thanks very much! And yes. Tedious indeeeeed! But the results are worth it. Very tactile. And I must say, I am very glad that it's done!

Wow iLan those turned out really great. I like the color on the walls. I was wondering how you were going to present them and I think this is a great idea.

Thanks. It took some convincing to get my parents to agree to leave the metal raw, and I think it looks much better because of that. It also transitions nice between the teal wall to their left, and the pink wall to their right, which was a bit harsh.

Thanks! No worries. I know exactly what that's like, as soon as you fall behind just a little bit, it gets so overwhelming to try to catch back up! Congrats on the future addition! How exciting?!

Secured to the studs with Lag screws. 4 screws per panel. Actually ended up being quite sturdy! But was a pain because the studs in that wall are all over the place, so I had to devise a system that left plenty of room for adjustment!
