Medium: glass mosaic murals and printed ceramic.
Dimensions: 5 glass mosaics, approx. 4 feet by 27 ft wide.
Description: Oscillating between ancient and contemporary technologies, a conversation of particles emerges between tesserae and pixels. The compositions that create the 5 murals are built up from the history of abstraction intertwined with pixelated satellite images, historical maps, and photos of the nearby waterfront printed onto glass mosaic. Thus rewriting a new code between the languages of weaving 0’s and 1’s and mosaic-making, connecting perception, illusion, time, technology, and the universal.
