Art Studio Overview:
The Art-in-Transit installation for the new Iowa Department of Transportation rest area in Adair County is entitled "Lift." Based on the evolutionary design of a bird's wing, the same scientific principle of physics that propels a wind turbine blade, the project interprets the story of wind energy production in Iowa. In a bold and innovative solution, a full-scale commercially made industrial turbine blade has become a monumental destination icon for the state. The lighted blade, extending over 165 feet in the air, can be seen from nearly a mile away.
