  Peacock Shelters 2002

Inspiration for Peacock Shelters comes from the spectacular beauty of the peacocks at the Philadelphia Zoo and the artists' delight in their freedom to roam the gardens and interact with visitors. Peacock feathers are invested with deep significance by many cultures, representing nobility, wisdom, kindness, and the ability to thrive in the face of suffering. Their iridescent beauty is expressed though the use of gold leaf, stainless and painted steel, and bronze.
