Airborne Art
The art collected on this page is connected, even tenuously, to the air. This category brings together disparate items such as images of birds, the totemic "Council" sculpture from the airport, and the aloft "School of Fish" sculpture near the former ferry terminal.
Designed by Erin Francisco, Dan Gorman, and Maddie Ullrich, October 8, 2019.
"One Heart" by Li-Young Lee
Look at the birds. Even flying
is born
out of nothing. The first sky
is inside you, open
at either end of day.
The work of wings
was always freedom, fastening
one heart to every falling thing.
“One Heart” is from Book of My Nights. Copyright © 2001 by Li-Young Lee. Used by permission of BOA Editions, Ltd., www.boaeditions.org.
