They All Work Together by John Acosta
This mosaic/sculpture/mural combo created by John Acosta in 2000 celebrates Castillo Park on St. Paul’s West Side, named for Nicolas Carrizales Castillo Sr. (the guy featured on the mural on the back). Castillo was an activist, humanitarian, musician and veteran, as well as a father, husband and friend.
It’s a cool mix of various mediums, though it’s uncertain how well it will stand up to the elements. A day after hard rains the sculpture had water pooling on the backside, which can’t be good for the inlaid mosaic pieces.
