Cutting Edge Sculpture More Information
- Sheffield design team, Si Applied and international glass artist Keiko Mukaide collaborated in the development of the sculpture.
- The sculpture is 90 metres long, and 5 metres high at the highest point.
- The stainless steel was provided by Outokumpu of Brightside Sheffield, and the structure was manufactured by Jordans of Bristol.
- The external material is 4mm thick, with a mirror polish on one side of the sculpture and a matt/ satin finish on the other.
- The sculpture was constructed in eight pieces over a six month period, it was delivered to the site in four deliveries.
- The materials required to make the external structure weigh approximately 29 tonnes, and the internal frame probably weighs as much. Therefore the whole sculpture weighs approximately 60 tonnes!
