Thank you to my customers and supporters this year and all the best for 2013! Here are some of the mosaics I have created this year:
Today is the day! Or should I say the last day! That’s if we believe the Mayan calander! So farewell dear friends lest I not see you again! When I make animations I usually make several versions. In this one I have used some unused footage from “How the Sky Becomes Blue” and re-edited it….
Last year I made a video and an image for an “Exquisite Corpse” style collaboration project called 6 x 6 Escape coordinated by curator Lauren Fancher. It was hoped that 60 participants would take part. The final media performance (put together by Lauren) took place in Athens, Georgia, US on April 6th 2011. I think about 40 participants…
As I was in such a rush to release the news about my book, “Passage to the Sun“, I forgot to tell you a bit about it. I’ve been working on it on and off for a couple of years. I wanted to show my journey, not just how my work has developed since 2005,…
Hooray! My book is ready. Full of lovely pictures of my mosaics, and drawings never seen! It would make a good Christmas present! Read about it and order from Blurb here! Passage to the… Mosaic Art By Kate Rattray Book Preview
During the last few weeks I have been finishing a book with selections of my work from the last 7 years including some drawings that were hidden deep in some old sketchbooks. All the mosaics tell a story and together a bigger story emerges. It is a sort of “concept album” . The book has…
The final mosaic in my journey that makes up a concept album of work is complete. I started this mosaic 3 years ago for a BAMM exhibition “ Music of the Eye”, but I wasn’t able to give enough time to complete it then. And I don’t think the time was right for it anyway….
The penultimate mosaic in my book – soon to be published ! Whilst watching some incredible footage of a volcano I was inspired to make this one. A scientist was standing on the edge, looking down into a huge boiling pit of lava. As if looking into hell, and yet it was so beautiful. There…
Last week I had an exhibition of mosaic art at Bath Artists Studio Gallery with Brazilian artist Marcelo de Melo. I spent 6 days in the gallery studying the reactions of visitors and talking to them about the work. I exhibited some older pieces such as Spirit of the Leaves and How the Sun Wakes…
I thought you might like to see one of my new pieces included in the “Crust” exhibition in Bath (see last post for details). This was a piece that has been in my sketchbook for a couple of years, and at last I had a chance to make it. The inspiration came from the crows…
Happening now!
I’ve been working on a final set of mosaics which will bring an end to a “concept album” of work. There are over 40 mosaics in my album (some of which you can see on my website) and they will soon be produced in a book I hope to publish through “Blurb” before Christmas. The…
