Imagine Dragon
- Bronze kinetic sculpture
- Kent Kraber
The piece Imagine, or as it is now called Imagine Dragon, is a sculpture representing a standing sea dragon. It is clad in copper that has taken on a beautiful brown patina.
Originally it was part of the Urban Tree 5 Program of the San Diego Port District. Imagine Dragon was officially installed at its current site in October 2013 and has settled in nicely, sheltered below the beautiful pines of the library.
The sculpture has a height of 11 feet from the bottom of its curved tail to the top of its head. It has a fabricated steel skeletal core that is covered in copper and weighs 350 pounds. The copper coating is less than one-sixteenth of an inch thick. Imagine Dragon's head, built on a stainless-steel footed bearing, will move in winds of five knots or more. Its effective height is approximately 14 feet as it is mounted on a concrete base.
