From the artist's website to describe this sculpture:
ROAD BLOSSOMS 2015
Cut & painted carbon steel, mosaic topped stools, and shaped planter surfaced with custom cut tiles and mosaic
37'w x 15'd x 15'h
This street-scape renovation/ pocket park creation project is composed of a sculpture, a series of stools, and a re-shaped and re-surfaced planter. The detailed cutout shapes of the sculpture and the mosaic details on the stool tops were inspired by the rich tide pool habitat of Laguna Beach located just a block away from the project site. Different sea creatures such as sea urchin, sea anemone, star fish are depicted in a rich detail created with cut metal and Byzantine hand cut mosaics.
This mosaic sculpture is very colorful and very detailed in color and attracted my eye quickly when walking by it.
This sculpture is one of many 'Art in Public Places' pieces scattered throughout Laguna Beach. Walk around, you'll find many other artistic creations that can be waymarked!
