String of light that connects all things

A Series of Temporary Installations Along the California Coastline

Each piece weighs approximately 24–40 pounds, with dimensions not exceeding 10 feet in any direction. The untreated steel does not negatively impact the environment.

Working with the day's ocean tide, the pieces are installed in the early afternoon and removed at dusk.

Installation requires no invasive construction equipment. Kate Mueller uses her body weight to embed the base of each piece 12 inches into the sand and sinks the cross-support beams just below the surface to conceal them.

The installations' ephemeral nature serves as a reminder of the fragility of the coastal environment and the importance of responsible stewardship.

Each temporary pop-up installation is conducted with the permission of the appropriate city channels.
