Ode to Hank is an aluminum sculpture of five colorful and irregular pieces located on the campus of San Francisco State University.

This installation piece replaced “Midnight Hour,” an installation piece by Hank De RIcco. “Midnight Hour” was five wooden totems that stood on the campus for twenty years, but outdoor exposure had deteriorated them beyond repair.

Campus Officials and artist Terry Marashlian, an instructor and former student at SFSU, decided to honor the totems by recreating them using aluminum coated with a specially engineered finish normally used for automobiles and marine vessels.These are located on the North side wall of Cesar Chavez Student Center.
