Inspiration: With my children
out of school for their summer holiday and my next mosaic project about to
commence, I wanted to create a piece which could include participation
from both of them. We decided
on a mermaid, one which could incorporate the beautiful teal green hues of
various objects which have been gathered.
Included also were a fish platter and seashell jelly molds which
were used for her breasts and tummy. The
exciting part of this project was the 2000 pennies which were flattened by
trains, resulting in many bike rides to and from the tracks throughout the
summer! Every trip we kept our
finger crossed that our money was successfully flattened and also not
discovered by other “track walkers”!
This iridescent beauty also includes cutouts in the mosaic base
which allows natural or artificial light to shine through the various
glass pieces which emphasizes the form of the mermaid as she would appear
down in the blue depths of the ocean.
Transcendence-
becoming something more than you were before by uniting yourself with
something greater; going beyond…
