Sparky the Unicorn

Lead Artists: Doug Shire and Laurence Clarkberg.

"Sparky the Unicorn" is a large, mobile puppet-like sculptural installation of a giant 10 foot high unicorn that can accommodate up to two adult riders in the saddle. The head and legs are articulated and can be manipulated with the reins (like a horse) and by a participant seated below the torso respectively. Sparky has brought joy to thousands of people, and is covered with over 6000 LEDs for a spectacular evening appearance, and over 300 yards of tulle fabric for daytime enjoyment! A sound system can also provide ambient music.

Materials: Steel, wire, fabric, LED strips (2019).

Sparky is available for public and private events
