USBank Plaza Abstraction with flock of granite


Just as I snapped this a very polite guard said no pictures were allowed. I explained that I was waiting for permission to take photos in the atrium and was just doing some studies for a larger format camera. The guard wished me luck.
This is a view of Loren Madsen's "Birds in Flight" sculpture. It was created in 1981 of 276 suspended granite blocks, polished on the bottom and rough on top. It fits the triangular theme of the entire magnificent 8 story atrium. The wires look like a new wave harp, and it would be interesting to have contact mikes picking up live vibes from the unique instrument.
