Aurora Akimbo

Aurora Akimbo is a massive conceptual piece made of molded and painted fiberglass. It's 22 feet tall and sixty feet long, and it takes the form of a giant tumbling letter A depicted in three separate monumental vignettes. The A's are surrounded by hoops further suggesting that the A is rolling away down the lawn, despite the fact that all the elements are permanently affixed to the ground. The A doesn't simply stand for "Aurora," but for a set of free-association words that start with A, including "Achievement," "Aspiration" and, though the artist doesn't say so, "Alameda."
