They are mounted around the lamp posts, and turn away from the wind. The ball forms on the ends, floating away from the main forms, are pointing the direction to which the wind is blowing.

The pieces are 7′ tall x 4′ wide x 1.5′ thick. They are made of aluminum, and painted with acrylic paint, and top coated.

This was a huge effort by Washington Department of Transportation, Spokane Public Works, and the Spokane Art Commission, as well as many other persons and organizations in Spokane.

They are wind vanes shaped like wings, and mounted on top of 15′ galvanized steel pylons. The wind vanes are 10′ tall, and 5′ and 7′ wide. They are shaped as airfoils.

The pieces flank the entry gazebo, creating an asymmetric entry space. The yellow wing can be seen from a freeway which is three blocks away, and from an intersection four blocks from the park.
