Attaching the glass shards, the last phase of the construction, is really the first step in experimenting the effectiveness of realizing the artwork in itΉs entirety.
This experiment will show:
How many and what kind of shards will be needed
What is their weight
How long it will take to shape them
How long it will take to drill them
How long it will take to attach them
How many layers will be needed to cover the structure
etc.
The wire must be thick enough to not be aggressively bended by the pendants, but to let them swing, stressed by the water and by the wind.
(1)
For more stability the bundles of wire should be fixed to at least to two of the supporting mesh.
(2)
How the shards will be attached to the wire will depend on its own peculiarities.
