Kunst am Bau
"Deflected Jets" won the 1987 City of Milwaukee Art Commission competition, and was unveiled by Mayor Henry N. Maier on January 1988. and was funded by a Percent for Art program. Many of the Percent for Art works that have been placed outside fire stations have been met with little enthusiasm from the firefighters as the depictions of the firefighters' work are seen as overly realistic. Brink's piece is an exception. According to Diane Buck, ""Deflected Jets" lyrically captures the spirit of a firefighter's commitment to the community. By creating a highly polished stainless steel sculpture of a shield and jets, which represent the water used by the firefighters and the courage they display, the artist gives the public the best in artistic imagination and craftsmanship."
