Flying through the Dark into the Light
Bykaterattray April 11, 2011

In 2009 I was taken out of my comfort zone when making a mosaic for the Heavens above exhibition at the Opus Gallery in Exeter. I am used to working with warm bright colours and golds, but I decided to make a night sky mosaic using a lot of black. The swan wasn’t so bad…

Street Art
Bykaterattray May 28, 2011

I thought it was about time (again) to add a post about something other than mosaic! Another fascination I have is with street art, especially graffiti art.
