Mosaic

 

Mosaic is an art form that is generally characterised as being composed of multiple pieces or fragments. It is a versatile art form, it appeals to artists on many different levels.

 

Recycling and Repurposing

Some people enjoy mosaic it for its repurposing and recycling element, that of taking broken or discarded objects and making them into something  desirable.

    

Resistant Materials

Some enjoy the technical challenge of developing the skills to manipulate such unforgiving and resistant materials as glass and ceramic into sensitive textural work.

 

Rhymithic Patterns

Many are attracted to the art of mosaic for the elements of pattern, texture and rhythm that can be created.

 

Brilliance of colour

Many more are attracted to the jewel colours and the irridescent surfaces that can be achieved with glass and ceramic mosaic.

 

Place in  History 

Others still may be attracted to this ancient art form for its perceived permanence and its place in history.
