Mosaics or Found Object
Collages
My 'mosaics' are very different from my people
portraits. The mosaics (if they are mosaics) are
abstract in nature and made from found objects, chiefly broken
pottery recovered from a local beach and the Victorian/early
20th century dump above it, which is falling down onto the
beach. I've used recycled materials in the base too. The base
or surround of each piece that you see here is a part of the
finished artwork and not a frame or border around the mosaic.
I'll post some more about these mosaics at
some point, giving some angles into what exactly I'm trying
to do here. In the meantime, just absorb them and maybe ask
yourself how they make you feel. I have to point out though
that the images don't do the originals justice at all, the
texture and subtlety of the originals being completely lost
here.
