CONNECT PARK

MOSAIC SCULPTURE

 

Commissioned by Peterborough City Council,  Connect Park on Bourges Boulevard, Peterborough was recently launched as a newly developed family park area with a children's playground, outdoor gym, ping-pong tables and a seating area.  A central feature of the park is a large mock boulder created by local sculptor Claire Pope. 

 

I was commissioned to deliver mosaic workshops within the local community to create colourful mosaic motifs which would then be fixed to the mock boulder.  Children and adults created mosaic hearts, mandala circles simple flowers and also a few dragonflies to adorn the sculpture in a draped-over style  reminiscent of lichen growing on a rock.
