I went to Montreal with Susan E. Middleton where we helped to mount the installation with Louise Lemieux Berube, Suzanne Chabot, the Executive Director of the MCCT, and Isabelle Sentenne and instructor and technician at the centre. 

First, removing all the shapes and sorting.

Laying them out where they'll go.
