Models of Birds
Caspian Terns
Alumni Exhibits fabricated five scientifically accurate models of Caspian Terns to hang overhead. The paper thin edges of the wings and tails were sculpted from transluscent materials so they would appear as they do in nature. Shannon Smith was instrumental in the fabrication of these models.
