Stair sculpture concept

Although made out of steel, the stair is inspired by design based on a logging technique that is no longer utilized in mechanical modern day logging. But at the point in history where logging was done by hand they used springboards to “step” up a tree to where a logger would cut little notches in the tree for insertion of “springboards”, on which he would then stand and “top” the tree. The existing building conditions and the double-axis geometry in the design required the use of complex computer modeling programs including Rhinoceros 3D and Autodesk Revit, them a lot of paper for templating. It’s really a sculpture expressing a bygone era of Northwestern Wyoming culture.
