This LOVEwork was created in the Black Dog Salvage custom fabrication shop. 

L - incorporates a mix of industrial elements and musical instruments including an early 1960’s trombone from the USS Independence CVS-62 ship’s band, courtesy of LT Sonny Fleisher USN.

O - two industrial spools, painted in the colors of the rainbow

V - reclaimed hand hewn pine beams from the late 1800s

E - fabricated from German stainless steel brewery piping

  • The ‘50’ located in the center of the ‘O’,  is a former speed limit sign commemorating 50 years of the Virginia is for Lovers slogan. 
  • The graffiti benches are made from train car sides.
  •  The bases are salvaged I-beams from the former Boulevard at the Capital Centre in Largo, MD.
