“Quiet Two Departure”: Glass and Light Installation in the permanent collection of Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, CA. “Quiet Two Departure,” a wall installation, embeds glass-like wings in the wall on a diagonal axis from floor to ceiling.
The glass wings are inspired by the flight path that I took between the San Francisco and Sacramento airports in northern California. The pilot explained that there are four radio beacons that emit navigation signals indicating the route.
The four invisible radio beacons seemed to correspond to the innate navigation systems of birds. The glass embedded in the wall is only made visible by the reflected and transmitted light.
