INSTALLATION
Each project is unique. Some are permanent. Some are for temporary or seasonal display. Successful sculpture installation requires site preparation and coordination. Sincerus will work with you and navigate the process from beginning to end to ensure your sculpture is properly installed and captures the visual effect you are after.
Sincerus coordinates with architects, equipment vendors and other contractors such as electricians and landscapers. This ensures your artwork will look as beautiful in it’s intended environment as it did when you finished the piece in your studio.
- Large project – Experience working with riggers, contractors, & movers
- Getting the sculpture safely to the site and secured in place
- Small project – experience of adding the personal details
