Tampa International Airport officials said Thursday that the installation of
Home, a giant, eye-catching, resin and fiberglass flamingo sculpture by artist Matthew Mazzotta, has once again been delayed several months.
âWeâre making progress, meeting with the artist on a regular basis â in fact our most recent meeting was just yesterday,â Chris Minner, the airportâs executive vice president of communications, said during a monthly Hillsborough County Aviation Authority board meeting. âEverything is progressing just as it needs to, and we hope to welcome the flamingo this fall.â
