Fronds in the Sun
Bykaterattray October 10, 2019January 31, 2021

This summer I was asked to make a mosaic for a couple’s Golden Wedding Anniversary to place on a tree in their woodland garden. The brief was “something fairly abstract, with a suggestion of plants and flowing water and using reds, oranges, golds and magenta’s, the size to be about 120m x 50cm” It was…

If you read my last post you will have seen the progress so far on a mosaic I am making called “Solar City” which is part 2 of a series called “Catching the Sun”. I am making the mosaic in the double indirect, or reverse reverse technique for reasons described in the last post. These…

Mendip Sunset
Bykaterattray May 28, 2014

I take so many photos of the landscape around me, usually they serve as reference points for work that takes me somewhere beyond that which is seen. This time I decided to make a couple of pieces that are purely representational. At least more or less ! The first inspired by this dramatic sunset last…

Gathering Darkness
Bykaterattray November 3, 2011

I collected another new piece of work from my framers yesterday. This is “Gathering Darkness”. It takes the idea from my Flocked series – How the Sky Becomes Blue and The Birds Who Bring the Dusk (see mosaics here) into the night. It was also inspired by staring at Deep Sunset through the Woods (see mosaic here)…
