1� <br /> the milligan studio <br /> "Do continue the great impactful work" <br /> Jai Winston,Director of the Knight Foundation <br /> �} a <br /> z <br /> d <br /> ;rte <br /> Sheet bronze patinated in shades of blue would form the"highways of rivers"in which the community of fish school together in <br /> Slipstream.The sculpture could also be sited on the corner closer to the river as seen above. <br /> A. General Information <br /> The Milligan Studio offers Slipstream. Bronze,steel,and kiln-formed architectural recycled glass, 10ft(H)x 4'(W),solar-powered <br /> illuminated sculpture will facilitate both communal and individual experiences.It can be"read"from afar,as it will appear to be a leaping <br /> fish with a blue river winding through it.Up close,one will see that the fish is actually a series of intertwining steel representing the <br /> highways as Slipstream is in honor of Charles Merritt Babcock who <br /> developed the Minnesota Highway system. <br /> This"river"of highway is constructed of schools of blue kiln- <br /> formed glass fish of all different sizes and shapes,swimming <br /> together,making progress,powered by nature.It is a slipstream <br /> highway of color and light. <br /> As we know from biology,diverse fish that swim in the same <br /> direction,or school,live better lives together.Their community <br /> makes them stronger.The same is true of a community such as Elk <br /> River,where Babcock once lived. The highway system of <br /> Minnesota,made manifest by his amendment,is our state's <br /> slipstream to progress. <br /> Slipstream with its dramatic blues cast in bronze and kiln glass is a <br /> striking metaphor. 3 <br /> Sheet bronze patinated to represent water.(DETAIL) <br />
