Roman Fish Panel
Vitreous glass on MDF(medium
density fibreboard), 24" x 24" (60.96 cm x 60.96 cm, 1.58 cm thick).
In this, my first* panel, I experimented
with some of the classic motifs of Roman mosaics - the wave scroll, undulating
fan, and a sea-life theme. It hangs in a bathroom, a suitable watery
environment.
The mosaic as you experience
it upon entering the bath. I also did the mosaic countertop; it's
a quite simple arrangement of various solid and metallic vitreous tesserae
cemented to waterproof concrete backer board.

The Roman Fish. The "frame"
is a variety of local oyster shells and other sea shells glued around a
thin border of ceramic tiles.

swimming around the heart of the mosaic.
