This piece is based on seeing birds roost at dusk in the bare branches surrounding Stowe Lake in Golden Gate Park. They are in profile and can barely be discerned from the lake's water which is faceted by westerlies blowing in off the ocean.

The imagery is a mixture of abstract and figurative elements.

I selected water as theme as this lobby opens out to a plaza with water sculpture both for beauty and for street noise buffer.

Stow Lake Rookery

This tapestry and the one following, "Morning View Stowe Lake" were commissioned by Marathon Corp for the two lobbies of their San Francisco office building. When the building was sold, the tapestries were moved to their headquarters in Canada.
