 |
| After the long drive from Lancaster, PA the Swinging Jenny arrives in two pieces |
 |
| The top of Swinging Jenny is carefully unloaded |
 |
| It was great to have two of my oldest and best friends stop by to share the moment |
|
 |
| The bottom half is swinging from the crane |
 |
| The lower half is gently being lowered so the armature tubing will fit into the Embed. |
 |
| The bottom of the sculpture is in place, ready for the final adjustments. You can see the top of the embed posts. Next the grout will be poured to cement the sculpture in place. |
 |
| Pouring the grout |
 |
| The Swinging Jenny is welded to the Embed to hold it in place while the grout sets |
 |
| The sun came out as the grout sets up and the Top Half is carefully lowered into place |
 |
| The two halves are welded together. |
 |
| Harry Gordon and I are feeling very good that Swinging Jenny is flying free after a successful installation. Ben Blaney is still working to weld the last of the bronze surface over the welded up stainless steel armature. |
 |
| Swinging in a construction site. I look forward to seeing it with beautiful plantings around his feet. |
 |
| The sculpture draws your eyes upward to the pinnacle of stunning VIA57 building designed by Bjarke Ingels for the Durst Organization. |
 |
| Life goes on |
