FLOCK
Our vision was to make a sculpture that looked like a flock of birds emerging from the landscape. As we honed the concept we realized FLOCK is about linking the earth with light from the sky.
FLOCK is the first of two installations we designed for a new life science research campus in Torrey Pines, San Diego. This collection of 150 mirror polished stainless steel ‘birds’ sits right at the campus entrance, capturing a moment of lift off.
As the landscaping matures, the sculpture will become more nestled into the plantings. Shadowy greens reflect on the undersides of their wings, while the wing tops reflect shifting blues and vivid sunsets. At dusk the ‘birds’ appear as fractured light scattered across the slope.
