Water is Life

This project, created by Piece by Piece artists, under the guidance of artist Leigh Adams, is permanently installed near the Crescent Farm within the Los Angeles County Arboretum. The design tells the story of the water cycle. Using a variety of repurposed materials, our artists worked on this piece both at our studio located in Los Angeles, as well as at the Arboretum itself, using the opportunity to demonstrate the art of mosaic and engage the community in learning about the Piece by Piece program and mosaic art itself.
