Some interesting facts about the Giant Paintbrush

To build the giant paintbrush, we sculpted the paintbrush handle from polystyrene. It was then strengthened by an internal steel rod. Installed on a steel mounting plate.

We prototyped and laser cut the curved acrylic layered shapes to allow light to diffuse through (this replicates the tip of the brush, and installed wiring and lights so that it could light up at night surrounded by the beautiful gardens
