We began installing on Friday. We learned what all of the difficulties were, and by the end of the class period had worked out a system that we can use to finish up today. Andreas brings up a good point, that we might want more bottles hanging closer to the floor. Today, while a small crew is installing, the rest of us can cut more bottles in order to extend the cascade down towards the floor.
We also need to name our installation and to write a artist's statement that can accompany our work in the lobby. In the statement we can answer some or all of the following questions: Who are we? Why did we make this? How did we make this? What questions were we asking ourselves while we made it? What interests or issues were we thinking about while we made this? Our words can offer the reader another pathway into the work.

We need to put the installation up in one whole class. A lot of the significance from this sculpture is gonna come from the initial reaction and thats gonna be different if students see it being slowly assembled.
Hi Tory
I agree, it would be great if we could get everything installed in one class, but as you can see, we've already used two classes and had after school help, as well. Some of us worked until 5pm tonight. What we really need is one full day to install, but that's not possible within the constraints of the school day.
So, I think we're doing great within the limitations that are naturally part of this project. I think that we can interest people with the mystery of what is going up from day to day. We'll finish everything up on Thursday.
