Haddad/Drugan, Sun Spot

"Sun Spot" by Laura Haddad and Tom Druggan, Denver, Colorado. Location: Denver, CO (Denver Municipal Animal Shelter)
Birth: June 2011

Description:
Sun Spot is a tri-piece artwork commissioned by the City and County of Denver, for the Denver Animal Shelter. The three pieces are linked by the common use of pet tags as a primary material. The main artwork is a 20’-tall iconic dog sculpture visible from Interstate-25. The form of the dog is an amalgam of many different dogs, in effect becoming “every dog.” Its “sitting dog” pose is welcoming and friendly. The sculpture is made from a steel skeleton covered with 90,000 stainless steel pet tags. The movement of the tags in the breeze coupled with sunlight and colored LEDs at night make the surface of the sculpture scintillate with constant light and movement. The dog sits on a raised berm planted with native shrubs.
