Constellation





The mobile at the new Dena'ina Center, where AFN was held this year, is an amazing work of art.  It is a 5o ft. tall hollow tube created by cables suspending hundreds of resin sea animals, birds and mammals.   You can follow it all the way up and down the escalator, and every floor of the building reveals different animals.  Reading up on it later,  I discovered that one of the pair of artists who created it has a masters in engineering from MIT.  It's so beautiful and a mix of two of my favorite things, art and animals!
