Description
FLYOVER, by David Black, combines sweeping lines with an accurate depiction of the event it commemorates. It may look very abstract, but the 150-foot long arrangement of stainless steel tubes, aluminum, and tile is a fairly accurate representation of the path of the Wright brothers' first flight on December 17, 1903.
Flyover was installed in downtown Dayton in 1996. Take a look at the picture. The wings of the biplane extend outward, giving you the impression that you're looking at a series of frozen frames from a film of the flight, a series of moments suspended in time. In a single piece of sculpture, David Black gave Dayton a record of this important event, from start to finish.
