This is the original concept design for one of my favorite builds, "Somnambulist." I was 3 months postpartum and contracted by the historical Chattanooga ChooChoo to design and fabricate their holiday installation, complete carte blanche. The final snowflake was 9.5' tall, five layers of CNC cut 3/4" sandeply. The name and walkway arches were inspired by "The Cabinet of Dr Caligari" I named it Somnambulist moreso due to the fact that I barely slept for a month and a half during the build. This build tested me on every level and I was a fresh mom, I made it through to the other side. I couldn't have done it without a few friends Kevin McCurdy, Michael Mulloy, Moth, W Scott Morrison, Kalah Louise Klemm Morrison and my co-designer fabricator Dmitry Yakovenko.
