     Colossal Avian Avatars flock to Muskegon

The Muskegon Museum of Art announced that Avian Avatars, 

an art installation of five colossal sculptures, each symbolizing a mythical bird,

designed by The Myth Makers, artists Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein, 

arrived in Muskegon on April 27, 2015.

The sculptures are crafted from

maple saplings, wire ties, and found objects,

and stand from 18 to 26 feet tall.

Each of the sculptures have been installed

in a different downtown Muskegon location for a full year,

from April 27, 2015 through May 1, 2016. 

Avian Avatars 

was formerly on display in the

Garment District of New York City

and the exhibit traveled directly to Muskegon during the week.

I enjoyed learning about the sculptures and seeing them in person.
The massive size of each sculpture and the artistic expression
with the weaving of  twigs and branches
plus the found items such as
plastic shopping bags, yellow caution tape, golf clubs
makes for exceptional sculpture.

How fortunate for our community
to have the
 Avian Avatar
exhibited here for the year.

and what a fun twist to Saturday's Critters.
