Standpipes and other issues

January 14, 2014 in Collage Art, Studio
Level two standpipe looks particularly awkward to work around.

Level two standpipe looks particularly awkward to work around.

The stairwell project was approved by the client and my first visit to the site was exciting, but also a little worrisome. On the stairwell plans, we'd identified a standpipe (for firefighting purposes) running vertically through the space... however it looked a lot more innocuous on paper than it did in real life! Here are some photos of the rough space under construction in mid-September. It was obvious that the artwork, once installed, needed to somehow overwhelm the standpipe rather than the other way around!
