Through both formal and informal interviews, we engage the big themes: identity,
memory, process, spirituality, etc. But we also talk about practical issues in an art professional's working life: tools and materials, organization, dealing with the business of making a living.
Why “The MOSAIC OF ART?” A mosaic is a pattern or picture that’s made of hundreds or thousands of small units – whether glass, ceramic, stone or some other material – that are organized and
assembled coherently.
In a comparable way, we find artists and other players in the art/design world working with different ideas and materials, but – looked at collectively – sharing in an enterprise we can call ART. This show will give voice to the individuals and also look into the ideas and themes they share. Check back here for updates - also on my BLOG
