Gizmo
Responder
Responder, designed by Blessing Hancock, is a 19ft long, 6 ft wide, and 9 ft tall sculpture stationed in North Carolina outside of Fire Station #45. Designed by Blessing Hancock and fabricated by our Gizmo team, the piece is meant to provide a calming presence at the fire station for both firefighters and the public. At night, LED lights create a ripple pattern that merge together into a cohesive biconical form, an effect inspired by the overlapping communication signals of an effective emergency response system.
