Artists: Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan Light Meander, 45 feet tall, three-feet wide and 12-inches thick; Stainless steel plate and tube, hardwood, color-changing LED strip lights, and Acrylic rod The artists drew their inspiration for the Light Meander sculpture from its significant location at the Demonbreun Street terminus, a former tributary to the Cumberland River. A bold and experiential sculpture, the art forms a nexus between the river and downtown Nashville. The sculpture takes advantage of the dynamic views from many nearby vantage points, and its reflectivity and color make it interactive and always changing throughout the day and night. Conceptually, the artwork draws on the city’s relationship to the river, symbolically reuniting the city’s past and present as well as the natural and urban environment of downtown. The form of the sculpture is based on the meandering curves of the Cumberland River as it passes through Davidson County. The very top of the sculpture, pointing toward the sky, includes stainless steel textile of reflective metal guitar picks. On the top portion of the city-facing side of the sculpture, color changing LED strip lights illuminate a series of horizontally inset acrylic rods, creating a textured ribbon of electric light at night. The lighting draws from the changing colors and qualities of light on the river. At the lowest bend, there is a seating area of durable hardwood allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the experience of the undulating form, reflections and colored light. The river side of Light Meander includes a highly polished surface which reflects the area and visitors in unique and playful ways.
