Installation Note

Note

The installation attaches to the wall with map pins and requires one person to install in approximately 1 hour. Photographic directions of how the layers are installed will be included with the work. There are seven pieces made up of thin strips which need delicate handling to prevent tearing. Push pins are used for the initial hanging and then replaced with map pins. The map pins should look invisible by letting the pin head overlap and hold the paper. Whoever hangs this piece determines the number of pins needed and their location. This piece is very light weight. I have always hung my wall pieces by myself and prefer to do so.
