THE
VIRGINIA TECH HOKIE BIRD
In
the Fall of 2003 Virginia Tech commissioned Judith Damon to create a ten-foot
bronze version of its mascot, the "Hokie Bird".
Working
in her studio (with a 12-foot ceiling!) at a Roanoke shopping center, Judith enjoyed
a dialogue with the big Hokie Bird as well as with fans and alums who came in
to watch her work.
The
sculpture was installed in Cassell Coliseum on campus in the winter of 2004, and
challenges and inspires all who pass by.
