Creative Machines was selected to design and fabricate a monumental kinetic sculpture that will be integrated into the Fountain of Americas outside of the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX. This piece, Wings Over Water, was commissioned by Houston First Corporation in collaboration with Houston Arts Alliance. The sculpture was inspired by the theme of migration, which is one of the governing metaphors behind the architectural re-design of the convention center. The connection between avian and human migration reflects Houston’s diverse population but also the idea that people come to Houston for a better economic future. The sculpture will feature wings that continuously beat creating the sense of progress and movement. The completed piece will be officially unveiled in March 2017. Check back for updates as we continue to work on this one of a kind project! #gallery-8 { margin: auto; } #gallery-8 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-8 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-8 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
