Glass mosaic

Carnival

Original title: Carnaval

Three samba dancers, flame-coloured feathers and a golden sun, in thousands of splinters of glass.

The central figure strides forward in front of a sunburst; her companions raise their arms into orange plumes. Glass cut in irregular shards does what paint can only pretend to do: it actually glitters. Take one step sideways and the dance starts up again.

About the series

A mosaic is built, not painted: the pieces of glass are cut and set one by one on a wooden panel. Light plays in the glass, shifts the colour with the hour and the angle, and turns the panel into something alive.
