Niloticus by peter hazel
Niloticus is a 40 foot long mosaic crocodile is one of the largest mosaic sculptures created by artist Peter Hazel. The color scheme of the project is a celebration of color on the Playa — cobalt, Caribbean blue, and emerald green are the artist’s fanciful vision of a crocodile.
Niloticus has a steel structure and is surfaced with ceramic and glass. The majority of the crocodile is covered in handmade ceramic tiles in the blue and greens. The colors continue into the fins of the crocodile with hand blown green and blue glass lit up by programmable LEDs, making for an excellent light show.
