The MOSAIC OF ART moved its headquarters to the heart of Georgetown on the island of Penang in Malaysia for a special project. Sponsored by prominent Malaysian architect and arts patrons, Angela Hijjas and Hijjas Kasturi, three Australian artists and I collaborated in the design, fabrication and installation of a architecturally integrated mosaic. The setting is a block of post WW II Chinese shop houses that were restored/renovated/converted into a boutique hotel, the Hotel Penaga. We were given a granite pavement walkway and an adjacent end wall for our work. My colleagues were Helen Bodycomb, whose relationship with the Hijjas family was established during an artist residency led to this opportunity; Glenn Romanis, who visited the site with Helen a year before to lay groundwork and Dominic (Dom) Johns from Cairns, who has taught with Helen and been friends with Glenn and me for years.
