“I have always balanced and enriched my life as an epidemiologist with the practice of a wide spectrum of artistic media. When I encountered mosaic art, however, what started as a leisure pursuit evolved into a full time career.
My mosaic work which includes clocks, wine holders, mirrors, Judaica, among others, shows how every little tile holds on to its own individuality but also maintains a special interconnectedness and even interdependence to the pieces surrounding it. This is particularly evident during the process of 'grouting' when all the individual tiles come together to form one piece. This feeling gets more noteworthy when I re-use parts of peoples’ broken jewelry, computers, and other gadgetry and combine them with colorful glass tiles to create unconventional forms. Sometimes it seems like one tile is having a conversation with another…Sometimes they need a bit of space among them but when I smooth the edges of one or both of them, they can talk again, respect each other, and in fact, their differences, as in life, enrich the final mosaic product.
My mosaic work is a combination of glass and ceramic tiles with broken jewelry and parts of obsolete electronic devices that otherwise accumulate as trash. The resulting mosaic pieces seem to capture the high-tech mystic those electronic devices once had and they seek to celebrate the beauty of human differences through their unconventional and 'chromatilistic' forms.”
