Cavorting Critters, Public sculpture on Brady Street, Milwaukee, United States
The Cavorting Critters features a blue deer and a red river rat made of steel, solder, plastic, and enamel paint across from Milwaukee River.
The Brady Street Association commissioned artist Bill Reid to create these metal figures in 2002 as part of a neighborhood development initiative.
The sculpture represents the intersection of public art and urban renewal, demonstrating the transformation of a municipal structure into an artistic landmark.
Located at the corner of Brady and Holton Streets, the sculptures stand on a former lift station that has been converted into an outdoor art display.
Bill Reid used an oxyacetylene torch technique to fuse different materials, creating detailed animal forms that bring color to the street corner.
