Artist Kirk Seese with The Feather
The Public Art League is proud to welcome The Feather by artist Kirk Seese (Lutherville, MD) to downtown Champaign. The piece is installed in the concrete planter within the roundabout on Main and Chestnut Streets. The Feather stands 10 feet tall and is made from steel and MDO board coated with a clear epoxy resin.
The artist states: "The inspiration for The Feather is to offer the public the beauty of stained glass, but in a sturdy, weatherproof and shatterproof format. An homage to nature is at its core. It really sprung forth from tooling around in Photoshop and creating something that I thought was aesthetically pleasing. So much of my time is spent designing either murals or themed climbing walls for others, this exercise was a complete separation from anything I knew before, and I like it!"
A big thanks to "The Station" (the former train station building housing Maize, Exile on Main, Dandelion and others) for the sponsorship of this piece.
