  1. The Research Outcome A series of Mosaic Tiles for our garden that represents ‘me’.

  3. Inspiration • Shopping mall in Milan - Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II http://www.pbase.com/bmcmorrow/compmosaics&page=all

  4. Making meaning of paintings - symbols Broken strings on lute symbolises discord The skull symbolises mortality

  5. The survey • MY ONLINE MOSAIC SURVEY • 1. What sort of colours do you think of when you think of me? • 2. What symbols do you think should represent 'me' on my mosaic? • 3. What sort of mosaic do you think I ought to create that would represent 'me'? • 4. Where do you think I ought to display my mosaic? • 5. What shape do you think my mosaic should be?

  6. Westminster Cathedral: The ceiling of Chapel of the Sacred Heart and Saint Michael, next to the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. http://www.thejoyofshards.co.uk/london/wmcath/blessed2.shtml

  7. Comnenus mosaics date 1122seen in the Hagia Sophia (big mosque) in Istanbul Halo Virgin Mary purse Jesus http://www.hagiasophia.com/listingview.php?listingID=16

  8. It was made by Artists: Community groups with artists Simon Gevers and Tania Ferrier for the Swan Bell Tower, Barrack Square Barracks Square mosaic representing different regions of Western Australia (2000) From www.pbase.com/bmcmorrow/compmosaics&page=all

  9. And then I made this……

  10. Planning a design • Points to consider for exteriors • What is the mosaic for? • Where is it going to be sited? • Do you want to blend it in, or will it be the focus form which all else flows? • Are the colours of the mosaic suitable for its purpose, size and location? • Is the mosaic the right size for its specific purpose: not so small that is is lost, nor so big that it dominates the space?

  11. My design • The pot which represents my family and my roots – filled with good soil. • The red ribbon represents a gift and ‘ties’ things together for me in celebration.

  12. My design • The round bit represents a plant in flower (which is me growing and blooming).

  13. Installation!
