“To make them 8 feet long and out of transparent material resembles a Wonder Woman idea in some ways…” Rockne Krebs, 1983 (Miami TV news interview)

Commissioned by Miami-Dade County Art in Public Places

The Transparent Paper Airplanes were constantly changing, almost seemingly in motion depending on the time of day, the weather, the indoor and outdoor lighting, and where the viewer was standing. The sculpture installation had a dynamic quality, the still photographs shown together give a sense of the ever-changing experience.

The photos include Rockne’s assistants of many years and many projects, Sid Smith and Alan Wald.
