Glimpse (an installation of ten wildlife sculptures selected from the exhibition Re-Imagined curated by June LaCombe) was gifted to the City of Portland by William D. Hamill and Mary Louise N. Hamill in celebration of the new Jetport expansion in 2011.
As you leave the Jetport, going towards Congress Street, you will glimpse this series of sculptures including a herd of deer, a porcupine, and a wolf along the roadside.
Built from materials pulled from industrial salvage piles, these are like three-dimensional gestural sketches in steel. Some pieces are highlighted with enamel paint while others are left to weather. They explore the vibrant movement of animals, bringing new life to discarded materials. Animals are reinterpreted and take on mythic qualities reflecting the place wildlife holds in our imaginations.
