The inspiration for this work came from a magazine pictorial about a sculpture of organ pipes in a Swedish forest. When the wind blew, a sound resonated in the pipes. The grey strips in the piece are representative of these organ pipes and are used as a backdrop to hold pictures of Da Vinci and early explorers and aviators. The repetition of Wright Brothers flight pictures at the right and a model of the first airplane below the symbolic pipes show man’s use of the air to leave the earth.

Mixed Media and Collage The Wright Brothers, Leonardo Da Vinci,Admiral Byrd, Charles Lindbergh,Anne Morrow and The Graf Zeppelin
