Sunflower Gallery - Roll over thumbnails to enlarge.

 

The City of Sacramento Art in Public Places commissioned Faducci to create a sculptural installation and signage for Hummingbird Park, located at 3601 Duckhorn Drive, Sacramento, CA.

The installation consists of seventeen freestanding sunflowers constructed of steel, hand sculpted cement, applied Italian glass mosaic and granite.

Ranging in size from six to eight feet tall, the sunflowers are planted amidst flowering plants and shrubs.  Each sunflower is uniquely decorated with a different color and type of Italian glass and stone. 

Three of the sunflowers have an additional sculptural element added; a bird, a ladybug and a butterfly. 

The sculpture are permently displayed in a neighborhood park designed for children and families as part of the Sacramento Art in Public Places effort to provide community involvement with the arts. 

The sculptures were installed July 2006.
