| Newton's Apple |
Anna Grayson
My piece depicts the apple falling towards Newton’s head – gravity being the key force that makes the Universe work. The apple is an old English Russet as I always imagine this is the kind of apple Newton would have liked.
I am a scientist by training and a writer and film maker by profession. I have only recently turned to the medium of mosaic. I have been inspired by the Roman mosaics of North Africa and Cyprus, in particular the use of both tone and alignments of tesserae to add weight and dimension to a realistic image. In this piece I felt the tones and alignments were also depicting the gravitational curvature of space-time in the modern understanding of the Universe.

| In my Minds Eye |
Dawn Handy
The theme 'Heavens Above' could be interpreted as spiritual, literal or as an exclamation. All three interpretations could apply to my quirky freestanding sculptures. I am inspired by children's art, tribal art, my childhood in Africa, humor and by my love of bright colours, bold shapes and constant wonder at the amazing world around me as well and heavens above me. I love creating art from recycled materials - giving new life and purpose to other people's junk. I have hand-cut tesserae from recycled crockery and mirrors and included glass baubles, stained glass and precious stones in my designs.

| Heavenly Earl Grey |
Aimee Harmen
My inspiration to make Heavenly Earl Grey came from the very title "Heavens Above". I sat and thought about what heaven represents and to me it is definitely something that is here on earth, within my reach, so I am in constant bliss! Earl Grey Tea.
Using my own glass fusions they seemed perfect incorporated with the broken willow china as the cup allowing the heavenly aura of the tea to infuse towards the nights sky of blue smalti, stars and glass.
This mosaic sums up the wonderful feeling I get from that first sip of heavenly nectar to start my day!
