"Birds" by Richard Whitehill, was featured in the Art in Roanoke 2017 to 2018 temporary exhibition. The stainless and mild steel piece is 12' tall and according to the artist is a "semi-abstract kinetic piece. It has three swirling shapes rotating on a cantilever. The moving Parts turn in several directions, coming close but never hitting each other, while catching and reflecting light".
