Public Art..
A series of five “horse gargoyles,” constructed of sanded plate Aluminum, directed to the roadway, grace the drop structure atop 3 ft wide stepped charcoal-gray concrete plinths spaced 125-feet apart. The plinth faces are scored with 1” deep chamfered horizontal lines set apart at 2-foot intervals. These markings align with elements both on the bridge and on the features in the south basin to create relationship between all the art features. The equestrian forms reflect the history of the Arabian horses at McCormick Ranch and the aluminum material recalls the now instant history of cars stuck in floodwaters. Visible from the roadway, each horse gargoyle has a different pose, creating a simulation of running as one passes by. During floods, water, with pressure from the irrigation system, will flow out the mouths, while floodwaters flow over the drop structure around the plinths (note: the irrigation system uses reclaimed wastewater from the state-of-the-art facility at the Scottsdale Water Campus). At night, the sculptures are elegantly up-lit with blue lights on the east side and yellow lights on the west side that represent the water and sun.
