| Contemplation approx. 15cm (6 inches) in diametre polymer clay mosaic |
I started creating this piece while thinking about the next large
mosaic picture I was going to do. I had no plan, just tiles made in the colours
I wanted to use, which I placed as I pleased. It was a bit like doing a 3D
jigsaw puzzle with no picture, just fitting the pieces together as I went
along, but quite relaxing. While I was doing this, I kept trying to think of a
title for the finished piece, and came to the conclusion it should reflect my
state of being when I made it. This also seems appropriate as there are
different meanings to the word ‘contemplation’, which reflects the fact that
this sphere has different levels of complexity in its design. Most simply it is
covered with round mosaic tiles; these tiles vary in size; several colours have
been used in the design and there are various shades of each colour; the random
placement of all these elements creates a complex organic pattern, which I hope
both mesmerizes and soothes the viewer.
