avo LEATHER STRAPS INSTALLATIONS AT THE HAYDEN FERRY LAKESIDE, TEMPE, ARIZONA
INSTALLATION #1 - WOVEN LEATHER WALL
INSTALLATION #2 - WRAPPED LEATHER STRAPS with buckled enclosure
COLLABORATIVE ART INSTALLATION
On-site installation proved to be a challenge as the building was under construction. Doing detailed work amidst the dust, moving machinery and noise was a testament to focusing on what was in front of us and staying out of harms way! However, it was a learning experience for us watching the men and women create a beautiful space,
INSTALLATION #1 - WOVEN LEATHER WALL
Multiple leather straps criss-crossing creates a divider wall but lets in the sunlight to the inner room. Each strap needed to be measured, cut on-sight and secured to ensure that it was taught, especially the horizontal straps. The construction guys lent us a leveling laser which helped us arrange the straps perfectly!
INSTALLATION #2 - WRAPPED LEATHER STRAPS WITH BUCKLED ENCLOSURE
18"‘ foot wall with straps wrapped vertically around secured metal anchors in the ceiling and base…that’s super long straps of leather! Each had to be measured individually as it was important that the leather strap be taught so that it would lay flat.
