"BLUEPRINT OF FLIGHT"- Dallas Love Field Airport, Fort Worth, Texas, USA

in collaboration with Martin Donlin

Client: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
Architect: Corgan Architects

Technique: Hand-painted ceramic enamel on toughened glass

In this superb hand-painted rendition of the original design, Peters generated some extremely subtle treatments on the glass to allow the constant visitor new things to discover at different times of the day.

DESCRIPTION: The central figure in the artwork is that of Moss Lee Love, the pioneering aviator from whom Love Field takes its name. To the left of the design is a collage of images that are taken from indigenous plant and bird life. To the far right we can see a historic map of Downtown Dallas from about the time of the first runway construction at Love Field. To the left of the map is a large globe showing modern-day flight paths around the world with Dallas as a central location.

There are multi-layers of poems that relate to man’s desire to fly: Some of the text is totally legible and sharp to read while other layers of text are seen as soft, dream-like “vapor trails” across the sky uniting and connecting everything.
