Queen Califia's Magical Circle
www.queencalifia.org
Iris Sankey Arboretum
Kit Carson Park
Escondido, San Diego County, California

Niki de Saint Phalle is internationally known for her playful totemic large scale "Nana" sculptures. Perhaps the most famous is the fountain in the Pompidou Centre, with kinetic sculptures created by de Saint Phalle and her late husband Jean Tinguely.

On moving to La Jolla in California Niki de Saint Phalle created Queen Califia's Magical Circle, the only American sculpture garden created by the artist. This garden is based on the stories of Queen Califia and the history of Southern California. Informally referred to as "the magical circle", it comprises a 120 foot diameter circle of totemic friendly fun loving sculptures.

The Garden was donated to the City of Escondido in San Diego County before de Saint Phalle died in 2002. The Circle opened in October 2003 on a 12 acre natural habitat in Kit Carson Park, Escondido, California; one half hour north of San Diego on I-15.

A dramatic part of the Magic Circle is the Snake Wall and Maze, a weaving pulsating circular wall 400 feet in length with heights ranging from four to nine feet. Writhing playful serpents open the way into a maze of walls and floors covered in black, white and mirrored tiles. Exiting the maze, you come upon an open courtyard where there are nine free standing colourful, whimsical totemic sculptures in the garden based on American Indian, Pre-Columbian and Mexican art, enhanced by the artist's fantastic imagination.

Open Tuesday - Sunday; Free Admission.
