While this project is more than a single week of work, I found myself constantly splitting it into week-long development segments. The final installation for this project, titled The Soliphore Towers which is a part of my ongoing series and interest in semaphore based projects, took 6 days total (including delivery). Each tower is 4ft x 4ft x 12ft, and consists of a double crank system, one which controls the blue flag connected to a set of coated wire rope and pulleys).
