The Eagle's Nest

Review: This, the most ambitious piece of public art undertaken on behalf of the city to date, was completed as one of the first steps in a major economic redevelopment effort. This art, accomplished through a partnership between UP for ART and the City of University Place, was made possible by the generosity of both the residents who donated to the fund-raising effort and the artist, who gave much more than he was paid. It is a bold work with large elements. The boulders, nest and eagles bring a feeling of the mountains to our city. The egg represents UP's potential as a community where great things can happen from humble beginnings.
