See Arbre de Serpents (Serpent Tree), San Diego, California
On any given afternoon, Waterfront Park is filled with moms pushing strollers, friends playing soccer, and kids and dogs splashing in the arcing fountains. Watching over the happiness is a rainbow-colored, multi-headed snake, Niki de Saint Phalle's "Serpent Tree." Stained glass and mirrors glitter in the sunshine, the mosaics echoing the tiles on the adjacent County Administration Building and around the base of Donal Hord's massive 1939 sculpture, "Guardian of the Water." Saint Phalle, who lived in La Jolla in the last years of her life, overcame childhood trauma through art. She described herself and her work as "color, joy, abundance." More of her sculptures can be found by the south fountains and playground, as well as in Balboa Park, Downtown, La Jolla and Escondido.
