This awesome display of both creative art and engineering genius was sculpted by Miles Pepper and is a kinetic sculpture that captures existing wind currents and subsequently morphs into different forms, opening and closing, in unison with the patterns of the wind. Upon first glance, I would describe this as a futuristic ship, with elaborate and sharp wings, hovering above the present, on the precipice of exploding into the future.
Ravens Bill Downspouts was also designed by Pepper. These rain scuppers capture the sky's falling water in the name of art, and when they are full, you can enjoy the full effect of the downspouts as the water is released below.
