Glass mosaic
Montmartre
The Place du Tertre at dusk: red parasols, street lamps, and the white dome of the Sacré-Cœur.
The house fronts are lighting up, the trees hang on to the last of the day, and the awning of “Chez Eugène” closes off the corner. The sky, in midnight-blue shards, leans its whole weight on the rooftops. Montmartre has been painted a thousand times. In glass it goes back to what it is every evening: a village with the lights on.

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.
