Morrison’s public artwork Turning the Feather Around: A Mural for the Indian, 1974–1975. 

Morrison created a wood construction, 94 feet long and 17 feet high, made from Western Red Cedar in 1974–75. The artwork forms the exterior façade of The American Indian Center in Minneapolis. Morrison is commissioned by his friend Ron Libertus for this project. 

“My design for the facade was taken from a feather. I think all Indians have connections to birds and their feathers, using them in symbolic ways. My sources were varied, inspired by chevron shapes. When you look at my design, with its geometric form, it isn’t a realistic rendering of a feather, but it derives from the feather.”
