PUBLIC ART AND LARGE SCALE WORKS

DISCOVER YOUR DREAMS: SEATTLE, WA 2008

I started working on this mosaic for Seattle Country Day School in January of 2008. First, I came to the school and met with all of the students in several brainstorming sessions. Then I went through all of their drawings to find images or themes that were repeated or that I found especially interesting. Finally using those drawings for inspiration, I came up with two proposals that eventually got narrowed down to the final mosaic you see below.

My friend Matt, who is an audio engineer, but I have convinced him he likes to install mosaics as well.

Thinset on the wall, I am about to install a tiny bit of the mosaic.
