A Moment of Joy - South Haven, Michigan USA - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This sculpture was created by artist Lou Rodriguez for the “Grow Your Own Sculpture” program sponsored by the South Haven Center for the Arts.

South Haven native Lou Rodriguez fabricated "A Moment of Joy" from steel and used color-shifting paints that shift from green to purple to blue depending on the viewing angle to mimic the iridescent quality of hummingbirds in nature.

About Lou Rodriguez:
Rodriguez took part in local art competitions while growing up in South Haven, and moved on to creating costumes and movie props as an adult. He participated in a local ice carving contest in 2009, and the experience sparked an interest in sculpture. A welder and steel fabricator at RCI Adventure Products in Holland, Mich., Rodriguez transitioned from ice to steel and fabricated his first piece, “A Dragon for Jonas,” in 2010, which finished in the top 25 at ArtPrize—an international public art competition held every two years in Grand Rapids, Mich.
