This sculpture serves as a playful welcoming terminus to Mueller’s Lake Park in Austin, Texas. The 16-foot-high, 30-foot-long serpent-like sculpture was inspired by mythological water creatures, using handmade tiles to give the feeling of barnacles and other sea life, adding textual distinction from the smooth, glossy, glass “scales.”
