Roll Pitch Yaw
About the Sculpture
Welcoming Lincolnites as they turn into the airport entrance, Roll, Pitch & Yaw was created as part of Lincoln's Entryway Project. The piece was donated by Duncan Aviation and was designed by Shannon Hansen, the artist for another Lincoln Parks and Recreation sculpture Discover. The giant metal paper airplane was lifted into place in July of 2015.
About the Artist
Shannon Hansen was exposed to art in his youth by watching his father draw cartoon characters and cowboys. He received a formal education, including a Bachelor of Technology Degree, and Associate Degrees in Industrial Welding and Nondestructive Testing. "I understand the properties of metal. I developed the technical skills and craft but it wasn’t until a few years later that I began exploring what it meant to make sculpture."
Helping a friend make a sculpture for his yard led him to seeing sculpture as more than just welding shapes together. The 'Tour de Lincoln' project provided his first commission and he has been making ever since. "I continue making sculpture because the more I explore the more possibilities I find. It’s a process that has no end. It’s a challenge and adventure."
