We are at it again, up to our elbows in our newest mosaic installation with the team from
Mosaika of Montreal at
Dallas Love Field Airport. So excited to see the giant blank wall and start to fill it with Texas-sized wildflowers and a grand Texas sky. The mosaic will cover a floating wall just before security in the main lobby of the airport. The piece spans 64 feet and rises 18 feet and is made of hand-glazed and hand-formed ceramic tiles. The hand-formed pieces were created in my studio and include frogs, lizards and various textures. There are also three dimensional low relief mosaic inserts that create a gentle undulation on the wall adding to the trippy, disorienting perspective of the giant flowers.
