NORFOLK, Va. - A new public art sculpture has landed in Norfolk!
Presented by Norfolk Arts, "Navigator" is a monumental blue heron made from decommissioned plane parts and structural elements of steel and aluminum with hand blown glass eyes. It is fittingly on display at the Norfolk International Airport.
The 24-ft. tall heron, which has a 44-ft. wingspan, was created by Don Kennell and Lisa Adler of DKLA Design of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The sculpture celebrates the miracle of flight and Norfolk, a place blue herons call home.
