Glass mosaic

Moscow

Original title: Moscou

A winter evening in old Moscow: red brick, snow-capped domes, passers-by in long coats.

Tent-roofed towers and a church of red arches huddle under a deep blue sky, and the snow takes every light going. Three figures cross the square with their shadows thrown in front of them. The mother-of-pearl frame carries on the frost. It is a mosaic of memory: the city as one carries it about inside.

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.
