Tesserae: Recycled building siding, stained glass and found objects
“I really enjoyed art in school, but never felt it clicked with me, like it did with my sister. After my grown children moved out, empty nest! No weekend sports activities … now what? After reading a magazine article about mosaic art, I started exploring it and started gathering the materials to get started on a project. From the beginning it had become a passion (addiction). Breaking the tiles with a hammer and tile nippers was effective in getting my stress out - then it was like meditating as I pieced it together into a design.
I love the way a piece looks after the grout is cleared off and everything comes together, it is amazing because sometimes you don’t truly know what the piece will really turn out like until then. For me, the more texture the better, and the more abstract and unusual the piece the more appealing it is to me. I don’t want to do what everyone else has done. Some of my favorite materials are stained glass, ceramic tile, polymer clay and I love trying new materials on the art pieces such as jewelry, rocks, broken glass, etc. A lot of times my pieces are experiments, I would say that about 50% of my materials were found objects recycled from used items bound to be thrown away. My substrates (canvases) are often old cabinet doors, cutting boards, old cabinet shelves or leftover building materials. My husband Kevin’s favorite saying these days is ‘Everyone collects something, but they wouldn’t want it if it was broken, my wife collects broken stuff, I’m in trouble.’”
