"A fascination and love for birds started early in my life, when experiencing the release of trained pigeons. Seeing these birds take flight has stayed with me since childhood. For centuries the power of flight has influenced mythological creatures such as Pegasus and Angels. These glass wings are a symbol of freedom, unity, strength and power, yet providing a sense of humility." - Layne Rowe

This installation has been made up of 90 glass feathers, individually sculpted in clear glass with fine canework inclusions. Each feather is hung from the bones of the wings, forged beautifully in metal by Ryan Harms.
