During the pandemic shutdown, I was unable to transport and assemble scaffolds with the assistance of a crew. Intent on working with the same form, I seized this setback as a challenge to reconsider scale and began printing 3-D miniature scaffolds in plastic and metal. This led to spontaneous interventions along the Oregon Coast and, once travel restrictions lifted, in the Faroe Islands, Copenhagen, and the IKEA Museum in Älmhult, Sweden.
