Motions II Mosaic

Motions II is a look into veins of crystals through a boulder. The shapes are pulling and cracking through the rocky surface, forming brilliant patterns.

Creation of the Motions II Mosaic

Motions II was created in 2005. I wanted to experiment with elevated structures, so I used copper tubing to raise the two center lines over the rest of the mosaic. I wanted a very delicate background so the hematite details would stand out, so I sculpted grout around the tubing and leveled it into the background.
