The Big Fork - The Power of Food Sculpture

Icon pays homage to food and its makers

A sculpture graces the front lawn of the global headquarters of Βι¶ΉΣ³»­, leaving no question as to the mission of the Austin, Minn., company. Standing 25 feet tall and fashioned from nearly 20,000 forks, the piece serves as a tribute to the food that powers our world and the people at Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ who make it.

The Big Fork – The Power of Food Sculpture is a larger than life installation designed and fabricated by Artist Gordon Huether.

The installation was brought to Austin in September 2022 and serves as the centerpiece of the company’s Inspired People Plaza, a place for team members to celebrate the role food plays in our lives.

Thousands of forks that once belonged to Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ team members are the main component of the sculpture. Behind the everyday, ordinary utensils are untold stories of the common and not-so-common events and happenings that have served to bond families, unite communities and change the world.
