HA mosaic artist list 3


Cosmos

Gladys Dion

"HEAVENS ABOVE” ! When I learned the theme of the exhibition, I immediately saw a very coloured picture with different graphic elements, in movement and forming a whole.
We find stars, clouds, a tornado, the planet Saturn, a dove with all the colours of the rainbow in its feathers, a fish (a reference to the sign of the Zodiac), flowered bubbles coming from our Planet Earth…
I did not choose a religious or astronomical interpretation or any other… I just saw this picture in my head that I transcribed into mosaic on a painter’s canvas, using French materials like the ‘Emaux de Briare’ (enamels) both mat and glossy, but also molten glass, millefiriori, and coloured glass… to obtain my “Heavens Above”.

Comet Lulin

Connie English

Creating art is a chance encounter with the unknown for me. Regardless of what I have in mind, the partnership between my chosen materials and myself often lead to unexpected results. In this mystery of creation I desire to replicate something seen or unseen in the vast universe.

This art piece titled "Comet Lulin" was inspired by a true story of an odd greenish backward-flying comet discovered by Qyanzhi Ye of China who, as a young 7 year old boy in 1996, resolved to find his own comet one day. Now 19 years old and a student of meteorology at China's Sun Yat-sen University, Qyanzhi Ye discovered "Comet Lulin". In this mosaic, the colors are soft during daylight, but at night it glows in the dark bringing a bit of magic from his story to life.

"Above us only sky"

Mirelle Eyermann

As a mosaicist, the theme of “Heaven’s above” could only be inspiring…
I must say that the first thing that came in my mind when I thought of it was the few first sentences of “Imagine” the John Lennon’s song.
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

And the sentence “Above us only sky” kept popping in my head for a few days, so I thought it was a good sign…LOL
I have listen to a lot of music while I was doing it, I hope it will looks bright, happy, alive and colorfull and that you will like it.

'My piece is made from broken china, glass and ceramic mosaics and odd 'bits and pieces'.
The abstract use of different materials is a direct link with the chaos of an 'astral collision'.
