                                                            When a breeze blows through Hamill Family Wild Encounters,
                                                            three colorful sculptures come to life, enchanting adults and
                                                            children alike. The sculptures—each atop a tall stem-like base—
                                                            spin like pinwheel toys. They are fabricated from a variety of
                                                            materials, including hewn metal, glass, and cable. Our goats have
                                                            the best view.
                                                               The kinetic sculptures were commissioned by the Chicago
                                                            Zoological Society Women’s Board. The work of Seattle-based
                                                            artist Andrew Carson of WindSculpture can be found all over
                                                            the world.

                                                            over the years made the display of much of the Zoo's artwork possible.
