Goals
Harbor welcomes the visitor to the Defenders' Lodge, with ocean light, reflected and refracted by the waves. The sky is dappled with arctic terns, nature's most worldly travelers. The entire Earth is their home. This a place for weary wings to rest, a place of peace. This is a safe harbor.
Process
It changes with the light. Completed July 2014 There was a helpful collaboration.
Additional Information
A veteran at the VA medical center told me, “I have been coming to this hospital to fix my body, this art is healing my soul.”
