Glass mosaic

The Game

Original title: Jeu

A naked woman, sabre raised, on a giant chessboard.

Kneeling on the red and white squares, she faces a golden king and a black bishop armed with a mace. Behind them, in the blue night, onion domes stand about like chessmen themselves. Glass gives the match the gleam of armour. Queen, pawn or player? The mosaic declines to say.

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.
