The
expression on Achza's eyes is what inspired me to make
this mosaic.
This
is a progression from "Achza Silhouette"
which has a more neutral expression. Getting the focus
of the intense stare was important me. The abstract shape
created by her darkness against a bright background and
blanket gives the composition the kind of graphic quality
I always find appealing.
The
marble used came from small tumbled 5/8 inch floor tiles
cut down into squares for the cat in a classic style.
The rectangular shape of the pieces for the background
gives the whole a more modern flair.
