Gather & Flow

The two-piece sculpture was installed on April 26, 2023 and sits on the southwest and northwest parking garage towers at the intersection of Starling and State streets. Spanning 50 feet in height, the sculpture consists of dozens of metallic starlings seemingly flying from one tower to the next, echoing the shape of the Scioto River and the pattern of a murmuration of starling birds.
The birds were created from laser cut reliefs of Starlings with 5 wing positions and painted with an iridescent car paint to represent the polychrome of the Starling’s feathers. At night, an LED fixture behind the mounting standoff lights the starlings to look like a bird-shaped constellation of stars.
