The 30-foot 1,380-pound sculpture is surfaced in a selection of over 500 yards of Wolf-Gordon upholstery textiles, wallcoverings, and mirrors.


Marybeth Shaw, Chief Creative Officer for Wolf-Gordon, worked with Hjalti Karlsson and Jan Wilker of New York design studio karlssonwilker, along with The Guild of Brooklyn, to design and fabricate the installation. neocon: 11 > 13 june 2012
