These six feet high feathers are covered in stained glass, glass-tile and tumbled landscape glass to create a wonderful array of color, shape and form. In addition they are backlit with LED lights that can change color via an app on a cellphone. This installation is called ‘Mad Jack Plumage’ in honor of Western Colorado University’s mascot Mad Jack. The mascot features a feather coming out of his cap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WHERE CAN YOU SEE MY INSTALLATION: THE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AND MOUNTAIN SEARCH AND RESCUE GARAGE ON THE CAMPUS OF WESTERN COLORADO UNIVERSITY IN GUNNISON<\/strong>, COLORADO.<\/strong>
The main function of this facility is to provide service and repairs for various vehicles and equipment used by the campus community.  In addition, WCU\u2019s fleet maintenance staff performs service and repairs for other state agencies’ vehicles under the supervision of Colorado State Management, as well as a fleet of passenger vans which are available for use by the University’s Academic and Athletic departments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work is in the reception area at the front of the building. Users of the garage will include fleet staff, WCU staff, students, and other employees from state agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the drawing that was approved for the project. Mad Jack is Western’s Mascot and he has a feather coming out of his cap so I used this as a jumping off point to create this larger than life lighted feather installation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
