Installation at Appellation


I spent yesterday helping my good friend Kristel Britcher install a commission she received. The piece has been installed into a purpose built ceiling inset above the dining area of Appellation, in the beautiful Barossa Valley. 

With the assistance of JamFactory's Brad Bonar, it took us about 5 1/2 hours to install all 84 hand blown glass pieces into the recess. With only a mere 1cm gap between each piece, you can imagine how careful we had to be not to bump the surrounding pieces while we hung the next one.





Though a bit hard to tell in these images, each piece is hung at intentionally different heights (each measured to hang exactly in the right spot) to create a smooth undulation from one side the other. 






After a very long and tiresome day, Kristel's piece looks beautiful.
