Sam Houston 3D Tile

Some more updates on Sam Houston State University's wall: The 3D tiles are in.  They look so good!  I'm very excited to install this project next month.

Fall in Montreal

Even with all the work in the studio, we were able to get out and spend some time on the mountain that rises in the center of Montreal. What a glorious fall!

Sam Houston continued...

Working hard this week in Montreal... it's coming together nicely.  Check it out!

Final Placement- This the the bottom 6 feet or so of the mosaic.  

The brown and white tiles have not been glazed yet.  

Sam Houston Progress

I'm in Montreal Canada this week working with Mosaika on the finishing touches to the 3 story mosaic for Sam Houston State University satellite campus in the Woodlands, TX.  I'm working to place the handmade tiles Kate and I made in the studio this summer.  The tiles are a variety of shapes and textures  from frogs, spiders and lily pads to microscopic pollen, seeds and pond life. We are also recycling left over tiles made for Strata which was completed in 2009!  I'm placing all the textural handmade tiles at hand and eye level so they can be viewed and accessed easily as people move up and down the staircase.

The whole mosaic is looking great and I'm excited to see it installed.  The installation date is set for January 2012.

Special thanks to the whole Mosaika team! It would not look as good without your hard work and goods eyes.  To see the team in action check out their studio blog.  To see the original painting and a rendering of the mosaic click here.
