Light Dodger: More Photos
Light Dodger – more photographs of a remarkable, newly installed outdoor sculpture created by artist, Tj Aitken.
The new Bainbridge Shady Grove Metro development blends elements of history into both the interior and exterior. Titled “Light Dodger,” the monumental sculpture stands 20+ feet high and has stained glass lens components over 6 feet in diameter. The sculpture melds the design of two classic Dodge lamp and fender designs (1939 Dodge Car and 1957 Dodge Pickup) into one three dimensional work of art. Along with the sculpture, a set of Hemi Piston street lamps grace the curving walkway. These functional lamps are based on the famous Dodge Hemi piston engines. They are flanked by Dodge head gasket graphics along the walkway that winds along the building promenade towards the metro station. It will be seen by thousands of commuters taking the Red Line from the Shady Grove Metro Station to Bethesda, Maryland and Washington, DC. Light Dodger is part of a project that will commemorate the dealership’s history to turn the brunt of the complex into a prominent residential landmark in Rockville.
