This suspended sculpture resides in the main reading room in the Suisun City Library, The City's first and only Library. The library is located between the Travis Air Force Base, and a vast wetland delta, that is habitat for many migratory fowl. This place is the West Coasts' most important resting point for migratory birds on their way to and from Alaska and Baja California. The sequencing wing sets are suggestive of birds in flight, while their construction is reminiscent of wing designs found in early aviation.
