Fiona will have her own space on campus overlooking what we will call Fiona’s Court.
A new Falcon statue will soon overlook campus!
The large metal sculpture has an astonishing 14-foot wingspan that captures the spirit of our newest Falcon mascot, Fiona. The sculpture is made of stainless steel with textures of slash pine and silver birch for the body and wings and a ‘corn on the cob’ texture for her feet.
The artist and UTPB alumna, Katherine Taylor created the remarkable sculpture that will be displayed on our campus. Taylor splits her time between Texas, the Adirondack Mountains, and northern Spain where her foundry, Alfa Arte, is located. Fiona Falcon was born in the studio pictured above but she is already complete and awaiting to be unveiled.
Fiona will have her own space on campus overlooking what we will call Fiona’s Court. Fiona’s Court will
be located in what’s currently the quad, but will soon be transformed when the University quad remodel is complete. Her unveiling is anticipated to happen in 2024, but until then she is perched in a crate located in our warehouse on campus. She will sit atop a piece of limestone selected by Taylor.
Stay tuned for a celebration of Fiona and her court when it is complete later in the year.
