Mosaic is an ancient medium and `tesserae` are the small pieces used to make up
a mosaic—the tiny bits that create the larger picture. We invite mosaic artists
from around the world to share their recent work as a window into this popular
contemporary art form. The exhibition will be a dialogue between artists working
in all media of mosaic: tile, glass, broken crockery, ceramic, polymer clay,
mixed-media, and more. The exhibition itself becomes the Mosaic. It reflects
the diverse ways in which this exciting medium is used for artistic expression,
creativity and growth.

Exhibition will run June 27 - August 5, 2009

Drew myself a deck on 3x5 index cards, over time been altering and framing them in phots'p. Almost all done now (not all on AMP)
