Collaborations
Selfie Couch
“Krystie Rose designed the mosaic "Selfie Sofa" after discovering that interactive and functional elements in new public art were top priorities by community respondents in ARTLINE community surveys. It is anticipated that the sofa will be located in the area of 16th and Reed Streets in Lakewood, CO. Krystie Rose has been designing and fabricating the artwork at 40 West Studios along with a small group of assistants and volunteers over the past year and will continue to do so until completion. Expected installation date is Spring of 2019.”
I was fortunate enough to work with Krystie on building and preparing the couch to get it ready for mosaic applications. |
The Ruins Project
“Rachel has made a lifelong commitment to transforming the walls of a former coal mine on her property, dubbed The Ruins Project, into a long-term mosaic art installation. This mosaic pilgrimage park is attracting artists, students, art appreciators and travelers from all over the world to her little home in Whitsett, Pennsylvania. The Ruins Project is a long-term mosaic installation that represents the vision of one Pennsylvania artist but welcomes the hands, hearts, and hammers of mosaic enthusiasts from around the world.”
I was able to participate in this amazing installation during the fall of 2018. It was there that I created the Ruins Angel, using materials sourced from the ground and river beds. The base is an iron jack used in the mine. The Angel is placed in what Rachel calls “The Shrine Room”.
