"Migrations" lands on Heights Boulevard for TRUE NORTH

I’m excited to announce that “Migrations,” a colloborative sculpture with Keith Crane, is now installed in the 1800 block of Heights Boulevard as part of the TRUE NORTH public sculpture trail.

The backbone of “Migrations” is a 12-foot steel tree created by Keith. I love the whimsical design, with a tri-part trunk and branch structure that provides interest and direction from every angle. I’m also looking forward to watching it continue to oxidize as the sculpture remains on display through 2026 and into the early months of 2027.

For my part, I’m creating four series of ceramic creatures who will migrate in and out of the branches during the year. We started with a flock of more than 30 red birds, to be followed by blue owls in mid-June and bats in October.

True North has been delighting residents and visitors of the Heights since it began in 2014. I’m honored to be part of this year’s jury-selected group of 8 sculptures, and also honored to work with Keith. For each of us, this is our second time to participate in True North, and it’s always a very rewarding and meaningful experience.
