A large installation in a ballroom or lobby is often the most visible artwork in a hotel. It is also the most technical: weight, structure, lighting, cleaning and safety all have to be solved before the first piece is made.
Structure and safety first
Suspended works need certified fixing points and load calculations. Wall pieces need the right substrate. These conversations happen with engineers and contractors, and they shape the design as much as any sketch.
Designing with light
Programmable lighting can give one installation many moods: calm for breakfast, vibrant for a gala dinner. That flexibility is valuable for event spaces, but only if the lighting is designed together with the artwork rather than added afterwards.
An installation is finished not when it is hung, but when the hotel team knows how to look after it.
Planning for care
Dust, humidity and daily cleaning all affect materials over time. Every large piece I deliver comes with a simple care guide and access plan, so the hotel can keep it looking as it did on opening day.
