Urban Tree "Planted" in New Location on San Diego Bay
Tuesday, 02 February 2010
Contact: Barbara Moreno (619) 686-6216, Allan Tait (619) 686-7247
One of the Port of San Diego's public artworks has a new home along San Diego Bay's Harbor Island.
"Mini the Mermaid" was selected in 2003 as one of 30 sculptures in the Port's first Urban Trees exhibit to line the North Embarcadero.
After being purchased from artist Frank Mando for the Port's permanent public art collection, the 12-foot tall sculpture fashioned of welded steel sheets seemingly floated amidst strands of giant kelp on Broadway and Harbor Drive. But she has now been repositioned to catch the rays of the rising sun in the morning.
