Mimicking apexes

Floating hats installation

Building Day: St Marys Church, Stockport.
The growing installation.

DAY 5: We threaded the hats together attaching a curtain hook to each strand.

DAY 6: Testing the net. We hung a section of the hats onto the net whilst holding it in tension.

DAY 3: Through trialling hanging the hats, we worked out how many strands of hats needed to create the screen. We then put the design into a grid system working out how many strands we needed in total: 380

DAY 4: Thread everywhere!
Cutting the different lengths of thread and sewing the hats together.

Day 4: Testing out different hooks and fastens.
