The Edwards Group
contributed toward a sculptural element that would complement the iconic Sundial in Downtown Saint Petersburg.
MGA created family of six life-sized bronze Dolphins frolic in and around a fountain at the base of a large Sundial, the centerpiece of Downtown St. Pete’s Sundial Plaza.
Mark’s work was selected to complement the design of a world-renowned production designer and a legend in his industry, Rene Lagler. Rene designed the Sundial, fountain and mosaic lagoon where the dolphins play. The lagoon features 288,000 one-inch porcelain tiles. The Dolphins add a whimsical element to a pedestrian shopping destination filled with opulent touches, designed in every detail to highlight the beauty of the City, while creating a gathering place in the heart of downtown. Dolphin sightings from the nearby city waterfront always catch the imagination of residents and visitors alike.

“The Sundial Dolphins were a great opportunity to create a signature sculpture for a City that I love. I’m very grateful for the opportunity.” - Mark Aeling
