One week ago today, I wrapped up the piece in bubble wrap and Bob and I carefully moved the work from the studio to our truck. We placed it on thick foam pads and drove it to Tualatin. For the first 15 minutes of the trip, I was a basket case, worried that something would happen to it while driving. After watching it through the cab window, I was finally satisfied it was not going to move in the truck bed, and we arrived at the library safely.
We were greeted by Mark Brody, my friend and colleague who I hired to lead the installation. My client Becky Savino, of the City of Tualatin, and Brett, the facilities manager, were also on hand. My friend and photographer, Loren Nelson arrived shortly after we did to document the process.
