ARTsites Up Close: C-Birds and Moon Beacon by Bobby Donovan

C-Birds by Bobby Donovan is about duality. It addresses the idea of component parts working together as a symbolic whole. To create a visual metaphor for this, Donovan has chosen two distinct entities; seabirds and the oceans they depend on. To emphasize their interdependency both are represented by the same shape – a flattened u-shaped contour. C-Birds is installed at COPT Defense Properties located at 6731 Columbia Gateway Dr in Columbia.

Moon Beacon by Bobby Donovan is inspired by the ancient navigational towers built by the sea. Whether a once-grand lighthouse or a simple stone cairn, these enduring structures evoke a powerful sense of animism – just as the moon itself, a timeless watcher, guides us along our way. Moon Beacon is installed at Savage Mill located at 8600 Foundry St. in Savage.

ARTsites 2025 will be on display through July 2026. Complete list of sculptures and site locations are here.
