Object: Sandhill
Crane
Materials: Vitreous
Glass Tesserae with Black Grout on Cement Board
Dimensions: 12 "
x 24 "
Method: Direct
with mortar
A
play with pattern, size and color.
The
red crown is very noticeable on these birds. The delicate
pattern of the feathers is less obvious. Bringing these
2 characteristics together is what drove me to make this
piece.
A
small table tucked in the corner of at the Vatican Museum
inspired me tremendously. The micro mosaic depiction of
2 ducks had the most stunning feather patterns, soft and
lustrous.
Though
this Sandhill Crane is not a micro mosaic by any means,
that style of work influences the way I use varying
size tiles and grout lines.
