Lys Santamaria ***** “Entre Agua y Estrellas” (Within Water & Stars) Lithomosaic floor mural at the Joan Means Khabele Bathouse at Barton Springs AIPP Final Report, 2024 ________________________________________________________________________________ (1) Community Engagement Plan To maximize outreach, the artist actively connected with the community through various channels. The artist spent time on-site, talking with many visitors virtually and in person, gathering ideas and inspiration. Additionally, the artist organized a meeting with the Barton Springs Conservancy and other stakeholders to gather ideas and information. Time was also spent with two Indigenous elders who shared their insights, stories, and wisdom about Barton Springs. Future gatherings with community members are planned to contribute to the artwork. The Community Engagement Plan consisted of the following in person events: ● Fifteen in-person interviews with community members and site visitors at Barton Springs Pool - 7 visits total ● Virtual meeting with Barton Springs stakeholders including the Barton Springs Conservancy ● The artist attended a ceremony to honor Joan Means Khabele on Saturday, April 9, 2022. ● A visit to the Salamander conservation area at the Austin Nature Center with Scientist and salamander specialist, Nathan Bendik, from the Watershed Protection Department ● A tour of the Austin Nature and Science Center and an in-person meeting with Exhibits ● An in-person meeting at Barton Springs with Gary Perez, former custodian of the Native Coordinator, Julia Beros. American Church National Trust ● An in-person meeting with Daniel Llanes, Performer, Artist, Activist, Teacher & Healer ● Austin Polar Bear Plunge at Barton Springs - January 1, 2023 Additionally, an online survey was shared and received great feedback from our community. To gather responses to the survey, the artist strategically distributed flyers across diverse locations in Austin, ensuring widespread accessibility and participation. These locations included: ● Zilker Botanical Gardens ● The Zilker Nature Center ● Barton Springs Pool ● Austin Nature Center ● McBeth Recreation Center ● Twin Oaks Recreation Center ● South Austin Recreation Center ● Dougherty Art Center ● Umlauf Sculpture Garden ● Austin Central Library Survey Questions: ● Tell me about your favorite memory at Barton Springs. ● If you could choose one word to describe Barton Springs, what would that be and why? ● How would you describe Barton Springs to someone who had never been there before? ● What aspects of the park and/or pool do you find most enjoyable? ● Zip code (optional) Survey results: ● We received 47 survey responses from Austin residents from 29 different zip codes ● The survey responses were sincere, loving, hopeful, funny, and inspirational. ● The words that they used to describe Barton Springs were plentiful but the most popular one was “Community”: Guided by the valuable insights obtained from survey responses and engaging discussions with community members, the artist embarked on a creative endeavor to capture the natural beauty, historical significance, and spiritual essence of Barton Springs. Many participants expressed profound feelings and shared significant memories, and the artist has thoughtfully incorporated many of these elements into the design, infusing a personal touch into the artistic representation. (2) Final Design: (3) Artwork Installation: ● Lithomosaic Slip Resistance: A finish with a slip resistance of equal or greater than 0.65 when tested by the owner in accordance with ASTM F 489 ● The concrete mix that is going to be installed will be consistent with the plans and specifications of the overall renovation project. Once the concrete contractor is awarded, they will provide the required submittals upon the award of the contract. ● More information about Lithomosaic specifications: Lithocrete_LithoMosaic Specification.doc Recommended method of installation by fabricator: Method selected by the sponsored department but not recommended by the fabricator: (4) Final Design Narrative Concept: The concept for this final design encompasses three major themes: Spiritual, Historical, and Environmental. The artwork draws inspiration from both the creation narrative of Barton Springs and the insights shared by Indigenous elders. According to the creation story, Barton Springs emerged when a limestone rock split open, revealing a captivating spectrum of light symbolized by the rainbow heart at the center of the piece. This radiant burst of light gave rise to Barton Springs and its rich ecosystem. The artist intricately weaved this narrative with the profound wisdom of local Indigenous elders, who revere Barton Springs as a sacred and vital site. Through their teachings, the artist discovered that the geographical layout of springs and mountains near Dripping Springs mirrors the constellation of Orion, with three nearby mountains symbolizing Orion's belt and other stars aligning with various springs, including Barton Springs. Moreover, the constellation of Eridanus, resembling the shape of the Colorado River, is believed to be the celestial pathway to the spirit realm by ancestral beliefs. The arrangement of stars in the artwork mirrors both Orion and Eridanus, embodying the natural elements and spiritual essence of this revered Texas location. Learning about how Barton Springs was once inaccessible to Latinos and Black people due to segregation laws underscored the importance of featuring people with varying skin tones in the design. This celebrates the achievements of individuals like Joan Means Khabele, who led the swim-ins that paved the way for the springs to be welcoming to all people, regardless of race or ethnicity. Finally, the artwork shows the importance of nature and the environment through a detailed depiction of large-scale flora and fauna, with smaller figures joyfully engaging with the springs. Together they symbolize the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world, celebrating our role as stewards of this ecological treasure. This artistic representation serves as a poignant reminder of Barton Springs' ancient origins, stretching far back in time before our modern presence. It urges us to reflect on the deep history and rich biodiversity that have thrived in this sanctuary for generations. This reflection fosters a profound sense of responsibility, prompting us to cherish and safeguard this invaluable natural heritage. In doing so, we honor not just the past but also ensure a sustainable future for the myriad creatures that call Barton Springs home. Alignment with Project Goals: The overarching goal of this project is to create a lasting, public artwork as part of the Barton Springs Bathhouse Rehabilitation initiative. The Final Design aligns with these goals by offering a visually compelling, safe, and durable addition to the rehabilitation project. The incorporation of a range of materials and conceptual approaches adheres to the project parameters for a floor-based installation. Materials and Technique: To bring this concept to life, the artist will employ a distinctive approach, utilizing smalti glass in a floor mural created through the innovative LithoMosaic technique. For the watery patterns, the artist will use normal cut tiles and for the larger flora and fauna, the artist will use large cut tiles (called pizzas). The little people will be created using a fused glass technique with Soda Lime Glass. LithoMosaics merge structural, and architectural concrete with mosaics, offering a unique method for large-scale installations. The mosaic sections will be seamlessly integrated into freshly poured concrete, providing durability and allowing the artwork to gracefully cover expansive areas on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. The choice of smalti glass ensures a vibrant, and enduring representation of the envisioned imagery. This method was chosen not only for its aesthetic qualities but also with the safety of Barton Springs visitors in mind, ensuring a secure and stable installation within the Barton Springs Bathhouse Rehabilitation project. We will be using approximately 500-750lbs of smalti glass to cover approximately 250sq feet. Pre-fabrication Review: Entre Agua y Estrellas, Lys Santamaria Report Date: June 21, 2024 Note: These comments are based on proposal documents and email correspondence with the fabricator and others. Because proprietary product information was not provided for this report, these should not be considered comprehensive recommendations. Project Overview: Lys Santamaria’s “Entre Agua y Estrellas” is a glass mosaic pathway proposed for installation in the Beverly S. Sheffield Education Center at Barton Springs. In consultation with indigenous elders, Barton Springs users, Austin Nature and Science Center staff, and the Barton Springs Conservancy, the artist formulated a design consisting of an undulating mosaic of water, decorated with swimmers, depictions of critical wildlife and flora, and the constellations that figure into indigenous understanding of Barton Springs. The mosaic will be installed in the floor, creating a decorated pathway leading between the two sets of doors to the building. Materials, fabrication, and installation The design will be executed to the artist’s specifications by fabricator Amanda Seibel of Amanda Elizabeth Mosaics. All tesserae will be cut or fused soda lime glass. Additional fused glass elements will be constructed of opaque (“smalti”) glass, incorporating frit for fusing. Those materials are also commonly soda lime glasses plus mineral opacifiers and pigments, and they are assumed to be so for this project. As specified in design documents, ½ inch thick fused glass elements will incorporate a surface texture that aids in slip reduction (texture provided by a ceramic fiber sheet during fusing; the sheet is not a permanent component of the fused glass). Certain fused glass elements will be constructed with a mica border, added during a second firing. Prior to installation, all glass elements will be attached into their correct positions on a temporary facing with a temporary water-soluble adhesive. The facing and adhesive materials are not a permanent part of the artwork and were not reviewed. Materials and fabrication comments and recommendations: Soda glass is a stable and reasonably durable material. In particular: • Soda lime glass (typically ~70-75% silica, ~12-16% sodium oxide, and ~ 5-10% calcium oxide) has been widely used for centuries due to its stability. Though brittle, in this case the brittleness is offset by the concrete backing, which should protect against impact damage except in severe cases. • The artist notes that the size of the plate glass used in fused elements will be limited to aid with cracking resistance. • Minerals typically used to color and opacify glass are light stable. • Unless extremely alkaline, the water-soluble facing adhesive is unlikely to adversely affect the glass surface during the period it will be in contact during fabrication. PO Box 6803 Austin, TX 78762 ( +1) 512.843.2123 j.unruh@outlook.com Installation A rebar-reinforced concrete foundation will be poured by an external contractor: the design and construction of the foundation will not be managed by the artist. The foundation will contain an appropriately sized and shaped cavity to receive the mosaic. A team certified by the company LithoMosaics will install the mosaic. Fabricator Amanda Seibel reports, “The crew installing the LithoMosaic will be provided by Sundek (if selected by the general contractor).” 1 In a patented and proprietary process, a thin quick-setting concrete slab will be poured by the installation team into the cavity. Lithocrete Conditioner, a proprietary product, may be used in this step. Seibel elaborates, “Control joints will be a part of the LithoMosaic installation. They will also be incorporated into the design of the LithoMosaic. Together with the selected concrete contractor, I will redline the drawings to show where we suggest they be located.” While the concrete is still wet, the mosaic will be installed in position, facing up. A hand-applied Portland cement admixture will be used to grout the glass elements. After grouted, the water-soluble adhesive will be reversed, and the facing removed. LithoMosaic Etch-Retarder will be used assist with removal of concrete overfill.2 It is not believed to be a permanent part of the artwork. The mosaic will be sealed with Lithoseal, a proprietary concrete sealant. Installation comments and recommendations: • No information was provided for Lithocrete Conditioner, LithoMosaic Etch-Retarder, or Lithoseal. Seibel states, “All of those additives are a part of the Lithocrete process and product information sheets will be provided at the time of submittals (again, once contract is awarded).”3 For that reason, chemical compositions of these three products are unknown and they were not reviewed. It is recommended to review the proprietary products once information sheets are provided. • The exact composition of the Portland cement is proprietary and was not provided or reviewed. Seibel reports, “Typical Portland Cement will be used and there are additives that will be a part of the concrete mix. It is outlined in the specs and will be outlined in the concrete submittals. Concrete submittals will be provided by the concrete contractor when awarded contract.”4 The Lithocrete LithoMosaic specification sheet lists a variety of additives that may be mixed with the Portland cement.5 In general, all additives listed are theoretically appropriate; however, the stability of the cement will also depend on exact recipe and proportions of materials incorporated. Review the exact recipe once revealed. Ensure the final recipe used is one previously used by LithoMosaics installation teams, and ascertain its track record of stability. • The structural stability of the tesserae and fused glass elements is dependent on close contact with the concrete pad below and on careful grouting around all pieces. Take care to ensure both a firm seating and careful grouting. 1 Amanda Seibel, email communication dated 21 June, 2024. 2 Seibel, 21 June 2024. 3 Seibel, 21 June 2024. 4 Seibel, 21 June 2024. 5 Lithocrete_LithoMosaic Specification_Final. Prefabrication review: Santamaria, Entre Agua y Estrellas June 21, 2024 J. Unruh Page 2 of 4 Maintenance: The Lithocrete LithoMosaic specification sheet lists maintenance as follows: “A. Follow Lithocrete Paving Cleaning and sealing care procedures [cleaning procedures not provided for this review; the company specifies sealing with Lithoseal, as specified by the artist]. “B. Surfaces exposed to salts, chlorine, and chemicals should be washed daily with potable water. “C. Pressure wash at the first sign of calcification or salt build up and reseal with Lithoseal and a water proofing sealer.” The artist adds, “Please use caution if using a powerwasher as it can cut into stone and glass. Washer must be held at least 2 ft away from the tiles surface to avoid damage.” Maintenance comments and recommendations: • Determine who will be responsible for routine cleaning. If the floor of the Education Center will be routinely maintained with commercial cleaning products, floor waxes, or mechanical equipment, evaluate any chemicals and equipment for use on the mosaic. If the cleaning methods used are inappropriate for use with the mosaic, communicate to janitorial staff the mosaic’s maintenance requirements. • Too-aggressive pressure washing can not only damage surfaces, as mentioned by the artist, but can also loosen tesserae. If power washing, use the minimum pressure necessary to achieve cleaning. • After pressure washing, Lithocrete recommends resealing with both Lithoseal “and a water proofing sealer.” If an additional waterproofing sealer will be used, review for compatibility and longevity prior to use. • Budget for purchase of Lithoseal for periodic maintenance as needed. Additional comments: • Robin Brailsford, the originator of the LithoMosaic method, reports that the technique has been in use for 20 years “with zero fail, from Alaska to Florida.”6 The artist estimates a lifespan of 100 years. The actual lifespan is likely to be somewhere in the middle (in the range 20 – 100 years), and is largely dependent on how damage is defined, the stability of the cement mixture, and the degree to which the mosaic is subjected to abrasion, impact, and inappropriate cleaning. Large-scale structural failure would not be expected, but particularly as the artwork is a pathway and will experience foot traffic, eventual dulling of the surface due to abrasion and possible breakage should be expected. If properly grouted, glass elements will be firmly attached. Nonetheless, and particularly with constant foot traffic, some cracking and detachment of individual glass elements may eventually occur over the lifespan of the artwork. General recommendations: • Information that should be retained in the AIPP file includes: • Specifications for all materials used in final design, including all suppliers of glass and frit, and the specific colors used, product information for proprietary products, and specifications for the Portland cement mixture. • Contact information for fabricator Amanda Seibel of Amanda Elizabeth Mosaics. 6 Robin Brailsford, via email dated 20 June 2024. Prefabrication review: Santamaria, Entre Agua y Estrellas June 21, 2024 J. Unruh Page 3 of 4 • Contact information for the LithoMosaic-certified installers and any other contractors. • Specifications for the final footing as constructed, including any sub-grade features. • Detailed installation diagrams, including all dimensions and exact placement. • Artist's statement re: • intended appearance: the degree of abrasion or scratches, breakage, discoloration, loss of glass elements, or other alterations that would be considered acceptable before the alteration would need to be addressed, or before the mosaic would need to be de-installed. • How to proceed if replacement glass elements are needed. • How to proceed if re-coating with Lithoseal is needed. • Whether or not it would be permissible to re-site the artwork in the future.

Department Artwork Title/Description PARD - Aquatics Division - Joan Means Khabele Bathhouse Rehabilitation at Barton Springs Artwork floorpiece for the entry to the pool through the historic rotunda. Evaluation Date Evaluator’s Name July 16, 2024 Ellen Colfax, RA EVALUATOR’S COMMENTS Title Project Manager - PARD Architectural Development SITE The site is the Beverly Sheffield Education Center within the bathhouse's historic rotunda. The location was selected by the Nature and Science Center Staff because of its prominence. It is just within the new main entrance to the pool and the new environmental exhibit area. The public can encounter the artwork for free as they visit the exhibit, without entering the pool. INSTALLATION The lithomosaic artwork will be installed into an inset in the concrete floor slab. The process includes traditional glass mosaic design set into reinforced concrete and doweled into the adjacent slab. The General Contractor, SpawGlass, will hire the licensed LithoMosaic installer and oversee the installation process to protect adjacent finishes within the building. SAFETY / LIABILITY The lithomosaic technique is a proprietary process for mosaic design set in concrete and has been used in multiple public artwork projects throughout the U.S. The installation process shall follow the specification for Lithocrete Lithomosaic System 7, to include: storing materials in a dry and protected location, protecting reinforcing steel and dowels from rusting, deformation, staining, and moisture damage, and keeping Lithocrete aggregate dry at all times prior to installation. LithoMosaic concrete shall cure for seven (7) days without foot traffic and thirty (30) days without vehicular traffic. Slip Resistance: the final lithomosaic surface shall provide a finish with a slip resistance of equal or greater than 0.65 when tested by the owner in accordance with ASTM F 489. Maintenance is similar to that for interior concrete floors, and requires regular sweeping and MAINTENANCE mopping. Any damage to the artwork is to be repaired by the artist per the AIPP contract with the artist. Notify the AIPP office (Ryan Runcie) when any damage to the artwork is noticed, and they will contact the artist, Lys Santamaria, to address the issue. If damage is noted during the SpawGlass warranty phase (lasting one year after substantial completion), notify the PARD PM, Ellen Colfax, to coordinate the response. OTHER COMMENTS Limbacher & Godfrey Architects, architect for the Joan Means Khabele Bathhouse worked with the artist and AIPP team to establish and refine the area for the artwork inset in the structural slab. Laurie Limbacher has noted that the artwork surface needs to comply with accessibility regulations, and the artist and fabricator have shown that the lithomosaic process has met these standards in previous installations.

Exposed aggregate along the border - Aggregate for concrete mix will be sourced from a local quarry and will be consistent with structural engineer specifications. For more information: Lithocrete_LithoMosaic Specification.docx B. Transition from sandstone to polished concrete - Created to create texture and an organic transition to the art piece. C. Polished Concrete - sponsored department is responsible for this area. D. Little People - Created using Soda Lime Glass with a specialized fused glass technique for maximum texture and slip-coefficiency. The fused glass allows for more details to be added to the little people - which makes them pop and gives them charm and personality. Each little person will be created in several smaller shapes to allow for grout lines and to prevent cracking. For more information on Soda Lime Glass: SDS Soda Lime Glass.pdf Fiber paper (ceramic fiber refractory material) is placed on top of a kiln-safe shelf. Using strips of fiber paper, the desired shape is created and pinned down. To create the design colors, the fabricator uses a combination of powder and sheet glass. The glass is then fired at full fuse (1490 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20mins. One additional firing is needed to create a gold mica border around all of the little people. The glass is then annealed (a controlled cooling process) to give it strength and durability. The fiber paper leaves a rough texture on the glass which helps add to safety. Finished pieces will total ½ inch thick of glass. From Bullseye Glass, the manufacturer of glass used for fusing, regarding slip resistance: E. Large flora & fauna - Created using large cut (pizza) of Smalti glass. For more information: MDM Certification CCLD (1) - Smalti.pdf and Smalti - Technical Sheet.pdf Beginning with 12-13" plates of smalti glass, the fabricator cuts into the glass to create smaller pieces into the desired shape. Pizzas create a bold design and emphasize the size of the plants and animals to align with the artists' vision. In this example, the contrast between the pizza cuts (or bigger pieces of glass) against the normal cuts (the smaller pieces) is very clear. Pizza cuts will be small and a maximum of 2”x2” to prevent cracking under pressure. F. Water - Created using opaque Smalti glass in normal cuts. These smaller pieces create a beautiful texture and will contrast nicely with the rest of the bigger pieces. The normal cut of smalti is about 5/8" long x 3/8" wide x 1/4" thick. Because smalti is cut by hand, it varies in size. For more information: MDM Certification CCLD (1) - Smalti.pdf and Smalti - Technical Sheet.pdf G. The Heart - Created using “trasparenti” smalti glass in normal cuts. For more information: MDM Certification CCLD (1) - Smalti.pdf and Smalti - Technical Sheet.pdf The translucent nature of the glass allows for light to shine through and makes this spectrum of light in the “heart” more magical.
