Water Mark five 14-foot equine gargoyles

Water Mark was completed in 2010 by artists Laura Haddad and Tom Drugan as a comprehensive artwork for a 5-acre site in Scottsdale's Indian Bend Wash, a flood-control greenbelt. Its centrepiece is five faceted aluminum horse gargoyles, each 14 feet high and spaced 125 feet apart. The city's public art page says Charles Wiemeyer Design Company fabricated them, and that each sculpture took more than fifty sheets of aluminum and over seven miles of welding stick. The horses recall the site's historic Arabian horse ranch. Kati Ballares, Scottsdale's director of public art, told KJZZ in May 2026 that "there were many Arabian horse farms here, so that's what the horses are referencing," and that the piece "actually functions as a part of the flood infrastructure": water flows through the sculptures and pours out of their mouths. At night they are up-lit in blue on the east side and yellow on the west.
