Fabricating ‘Chinook Arc’

Jan 16, 2014
1 min read

These photos span the six month period when we fabricated ‘Chinook Arc’ by Joe O’Connell and Blessing Hancock. This is the largest sculpture we have ever built, and one of the most highly engineered. We did everything in house with the exception of manufacturing the space frame members. We built our own heat-forming oven to form the panels, our own 3D jigs to route them to shape, and welded all the supporting brackets and legs. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Our Creative Machines studio is located on the ancestral lands of the Tohono O'odham Nation. We are nestled in the heart of Tucson, Arizona, a vibrant, culture-rich city, both presently and historically. This land was home to some of the earliest people in North America, the Hohokam, and we honor and respectfully acknowledge the indigenous nations that have stewarded this land since time immemorial. Today, Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, with Tucson being home to the Tohono O’odham and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.
