Concrete Fossils Mosaic – On Playground Water Feature

blue glass gems and cast concrete fossil pebble mosaic on playground water feature sculpture by Bay Area mosaic artist sophia othman. sculpture by tom arie donch

This mosaic was done as a collaboration with Tom Arie Donch for one of his playground structures.  The mosaic is an interactive feature – it is covered with sand and children can dig the sand away to discover fossils, shiny glass gems, and pebbles.

The water feature has a gentle slope allowing water to flow from the top right down through sand and mosaic treasure and flow off the sculpture on the far left side.
