IN BETWEEN THE LINES (Detail)

0.0 x 0.0

There are two obvious types of use of mosaic here, each with its own specific properties. There is angular rigidity, using ceramic and smalti tiles, indicative of the mundanity of everyday existence, an architectural landscape of rhythm and routine. I have encapsulated the individual life within it by figuratively using, holograms, 3D images, broken china, mirrors and turquoise and to highlight the precious moments: stained glass and more light-catching materials. The other use of mosaic is in the omnipresent spiral, where, by contrast, I have hand cut circular iridized tiles to signify nature’s celestial quality.
