The CM Master Links and CM Master Rings connected the braided material of this traveling sculpture (entitled “Skies Painted with Unnumbered Sparks” created by Janet Echelman) to the existing city architecture. These CM Herc Alloy links and rings have working loads from 10,000 up to 86,000 lbs.; that strength enabled the sculpture to safely hang.
