We investigated different materials and tested rolling techniques prior to production using miniature prototypes.
Having sourced aluminium of the required dimensions we arranged for anodising, we then modified our flatbed etching laser to enable such a large sheet of aluminium to pass through. We ran the laser constantly to etch James’ designs into both sides.
Next the anodised aluminium was rolled on an angle to create the desired curling effect. We designed and fabricated footing mounts and provided structural certification for the project.
Then we built a special crate to contain and protect the artwork on its overland journey to Victoria, ready for installation.
Engineered, fabricated, delivered, and installed by Artforms WA.
