(BMLTV) PORTSMOUTH VA., November 23, 2016 - Elizabeth RIVERFest, the area’s premiere environmental festival,reached new heights this year – literally. For the first time, participants walked to the top of the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge. Even more special, the walk turned into a live art event as participants carried 1,000 silhouettes of blue herons in honor of an internationally accomplished sculptor, debuting his “One Flock” installation of heron and human sculptures at the festival.
After completing outdoor environmental sculptures around the world, from Russia to France, Germany and Korea, Rob Mulholland of Scotland unveiled his first major installation in the US during Elizabeth River Project’s annual RIVERFEST.
