Overview

Flying Together, bronze, stainless steel and granite, May 2017, 22’x6’x2. Flying Together features two bronze eagles soaring majestically into the sky across a stainless steel Mobius circle. The circle integrates a timeless, contemporary element to this cast bronze sculpture, has a ‘brushed’ surface treatment, leaving it luminescent yet non-reflective, eliminating any possibility of glare for motorists.

Goals

The city wants to bring more public art into the community. This piece was to be installed at a roundabout, it had to not impede the view, be interesting from all directions, and somehow connect to the community.

Process

Adam submitted a proposal that considered all the aspects of the project that the committee considered important, and won the call.
