About
the Design
The Stegosaurus form lends itself to a colorful and
playful mosaic of Pittsburgh. The spikes along its back and
tail remind artist Daviea Davis of the city's hillsides peppered
with houses. The design reflects images of the Three Rivers,
alive with rowers, crossed by bridges, and overlooked by the
unique buildings of The Golden Triangle. The mosaic is made
up of stained glass, mirror, and found
objects. The animal's legs represent, in color and pattern,
the bedrock from which this city has sprung; layers of time
and earth, rich with history, thick with ingenuity, and flowing
from expressions of creativity.
