To add to my collection of 4 wall pieces for the “Flocked” exhibition, (see last post) I made a small group of 3d birds.

Hey come on guys, don’t be shy – turn around, let me introduce you:

New Years Day 2010
Bykaterattray January 1, 2010

It was a beautiful day today. Cold and sunny. I took my family to Westhay nature reserve. It is an area on the Somerset Levels beside lakes and rhynes (pronounced “reens”) where you can walk and watch different water birds coming and going and being. From a distance, we saw geese, swans, coots and cormorants….

Tree of Life at the RUH

This summer I was commissioned to make a “Tree of Life” mosaic to raise awareness of organ donation for the Royal United Hospital in Bath. When the organ donation hospital team were looking for inspiration for a tree of life, they found my Olive Tree on my website and got in touch. It was a…

Bykaterattray January 13, 2010

I am lucky enough not to have a problem with finding inspiration – hence the reason I always have more than one mosaic happening at a time. I remember when I started my degree in Creative Arts back in 1986, I had no ideas, and my first piece of work was a self portrait collage with…

The Shadow of the Wind
Bykaterattray April 16, 2013

I know I have used the title of Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s fantastic novel, but I couldn’t find another title that seemed right for this piece. “Shadows of the Wind” or “Wind Shadows” just didn’t do it for me – it had to be solid, contained and absolute! The mosaic isn’t directly inspired by the novel , although the…
