During the street fair, everyday objects take advantage of the festive atmosphere to succumb to their inner desires. Here, a tired hydrant takes a break from his vigilant stance with the help of a friend. Three unusual tableaus are sprinkled throughout the fair, waiting to be discovered by observant visitors.

How is this project innovative in devising solutions or meeting specific needs? This sculpture was part of a temporary installation for Art Slam in Bradenton, FL. It was one of three unusual tableaus sprinkled throughout the fair, waiting to be discovered by observant visitors. We took our inspiration purely from the street, utilizing everyday streetscape objects and anthropomorphizing them, having them act out their inner desires. We consciously polychromed them to look exactly like the actual items. We like that the sculptures were not always noticed immediately, since they blended so completely into the streetscape. Most people passed by the sculptures a number of times before seeing them; others noticed them right away.
