Early Morning Flight, 2005
DESCRIPTION: (20-foot diameter) This circular floor medallion is located along the Departure Level Concourse.
"The terrazzo floor medallions are of particular interest as they offer the opportunity to work at a more human scale with a greater range of color and pattern and with images more closely associated with my paintings.
"Travel has always been a key element in gathering material for my work and through my work I have always been interested in conveying a sense of place. The public art program at Terminal D is a unique opportunity to visually enhance a utilitarian space, but more than that it is a chance to celebrate an aesthetic regional identity and to engage air travelers in a rich and stimulating visual experience."
