Redtail
Concrete and Steel, 2015, 20 x 40 x 12 ft
University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa
From a nearly motionless hover the hawk dived. Caught by a sudden gust of wind, she adjusts into a spiral and arcs back toward her prey. Talons extended, she makes contact in a splash of dust. Though the female hawk I observed out of my studio door missed whatever she was after, the lines of motion she made, as the wind gust threw her off course, and the image of her wings turned back as she connected with the earth, are the origin of "Redtail".
Though the original gesture springs from a chance observation, the final model for "Redtail" takes its form from the intended location. The hawk's wings become folding doors, or the covers of a book. An opening at their hinged juncture forms an entryway for the viewer to pass optically and physically from the concave to the convex in a setting suggestive of the Paleolithic, metaphorically to a place where the ancient is examined and the future is planned. The spiraling path of downward flight becomes a soaring advance over and through this entryway--a balanced tension evoking the interplay of exuberant curiosity anchorde by the stele of accumulated knowledge, the motive forces that come together in the university.
