Sweat and Tears Olympics Sculpture – part 1

Bykaterattray June 18, 2011April 26, 2021

This time last year I posted a blog about the Olympic sculpture project “Art at the Edge” and my involvement as a guest artist. Finally I have the time to start my sculpture for it. I decided to make a sculpture that would be about the experience of being an Olympic athlete, a study of…

Path to the Sky

Bykaterattray July 8, 2013

The fields in the last few weeks have been an abundance of yellow buttercups. I couldn’t do it much justice with my photos but it was much better than this: The skies have been pretty impressive too: No need to look far for inspiration! I made this mosaic indirectly only because I had to work…

How The Sky Becomes Blue

Bykaterattray February 18, 2011

I have posted the animation again this time from vimeo because it fills the screen and I think this looks better! [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/20099871 w=400&h=300] I made the soundtrack by mixing 2 tracks of birdsong that I recorded with my daughters ipod with a drumbeat from a keyboard. All very low-tech!

Bird of the Apocalypse

Before I went to the gallery, my partner and I stopped off for a coffee, mint tea and baklava in a Moroccan restaurant. To my delight their was a mosaic on the…

Swallows and Goldfinches

Bykaterattray July 12, 2018January 5, 2020

Goldfinches I absolutely love the voices of Goldfinches, just like tiny little tinkling bells, and have you noticed that they also sing when they fly, so they fly in a sort of up and down rhythm that makes them look quite comical like a Disney cartoon! The Goldfinch is a symbol of life, exuberance and…

Wow! Hi is such a handsome guy! I love the final video. I had guessed his name to be Zion so was wrong! You must be so proud and sad to have him go.

Thank you for dropping by my blog and letting me know about the video. I’ve always admired mosaics, but have never seen one made, so the video was fascinating and fun. As it played, I couldn’t help thinking it was like a great big 3D puzzle and then I noticed the name of the music! I think Zillion is going to have loads of admirers. If you don’t mind I’d like to put a link in my blog to your post with the video on it. Congrats on a fantastic looking Lion.
