THE GREAT HAWK MOBILE USES THE SCHOOL MASCOT AS THE STARTING POINT. Religion classes from kindergarten through eighth grade rotated through a special workshop, each creating panels for this hanging artwork. Working with shrinking plastic medium (a.k.a. Shrinky Dink), the boys drew and painted what they find most interesting about the life and world of a hawk: including habitat, prey, anatomical features, nesting, eggs, and chicks. The hawk design resembles a Red- Tailed Hawk, the most common hawk in our region and the basis for “Forbes,” the School’s mascot. These hundreds of panels—translucent and a bit like stained-glass—have been strung together in the shape of a CATHEDRAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS AT-A-GLANCE 47,965 MORNING HANDSHAKES | 25 STUDENT-BODY ASSEMBLIES 263 STUDENTS 24 Zip Codes Represented 17 Preschools 12 Different Religions 37% 100% THE GREAT HAWK MOBILE PROJECT BY SUKEY BRYAN SELF OR PARENT IDENTIFIED MALE THE GREAT HAWK MOBILE USES THE SCHOOL MASCOT AS THE STARTING POINT.

This piece demonstrates how, when we each do a small part, those small parts can add up to something big. The installation also demon- strates the many ways we are linked together: by our lives within our communities and by our shared connection with nature through the land we inhabit. As Grace Cathedral’s artist-in-residence, I was privileged to work with all the students on such an ambitious and complex piece.
