We need to return with shims and bolts to create as straight and level a line as possible. There is a kind of reckoning with reality when the piece that's been diagrammed in Rhino and rendered in Photoshop actually lands in the site and becomes a thing with real scale. While I was digging the ditch (with help from Jimmy and the Harwood), there was a moment when I thought, 'holy crap, this thing is too long.' Only a moment though, and the scale and its relation to the yard is doing everything we hoped. Now to start gathering the stones... https://www.cooperarch.com/day/2018/4/24/immigration-is-navigation-4 monthly 0.5 2018-04-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58654f52f7e0abc3cfa460d0/t/5adf5a822b6a286883443615/1524587145961/straightened+03.jpg Ephemeral Landscapes - Immigration is Navigation: 4 For someone more used to working with wood, steel can be a recalcitrant medium.

We had help with the processing of the rocks, in particular the application of the vinyl sticker stencils, and were grateful for it. The event was well attended and being there for several hours as the sun went down and the glow of our LEDs emerged was every bit as satisfying as we'd hoped. https://www.cooperarch.com/new-cover-page daily 1.0 2019-12-14 https://www.cooperarch.com/contact daily 0.75 2017-01-19 https://www.cooperarch.com/about daily 0.75 2018-02-13 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58654f52f7e0abc3cfa460d0/t/5876c0f5440243451f3a26b1/1484177665715/ About Sandia Mountains, Albuquerque, 2016 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/58654f52f7e0abc3cfa460d0/t/5876be91bebafbb7789cc0d7/1484177058686/high+top.jpg About
