Installing new work at Stanford sculpture show

I'm participating in a group sculpture show at Stanford entitled 'Expanding.' Eleven Bay Area artists demonstrate a range of materials and methods to present a view of sculpture today. Below you can see images of the last days of preparation and installation of the piece I am including in the exhibit.
