I had the very impractical idea of making an illuminated piece that was based on my Carrie Furnace photos, and putting it in the doorway of an abandoned building in Braddock.
I picked a spot near the closed UPMC Braddock, as that area could use some light these days (or nights rather). I experimented with using solar powered lights, and did some otherthings that were new for me in my work. The piece is? was? about 40 inches high,and was stapled to a make shift pedestal since the doorway wasn't level.
Now obviously, it was unlikely I was actually going to ever get this piece back....I didn't really secure it, just a few staples. I was really hoping it wouldn't get trashed.....and I don't think it was.....as the staples seem to have been carefully removed so as to not damage the piece or the lights.
So, I don't want it back....but I'd love to know where it is.
I do think I'll make my next one a bit more difficult to get...as I think this one was only out 24 hours or so.
Any info?

Wow that is beautiful
I know, I was sort of shocked she was putting it out there. We expected it to last no more than a week on the street but were hoping it for more than a day.
The good thing is that, it really looks like someone took the whole thing home.
