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…
Another piece for my solo exhibition “Voices of the Wind” at Somerset Crafts to accompany The Storm. It is quite a small piece (A4) made with stained glass, float glass over painted board and mirror glass. Here are 2 shots of it in different light (I feel an animation coming on!) As well as the…
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….
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…
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…
Yummm, Double Delight conjures up images of a scumptious icecream made with Turkish Delight and lemon meringue topped with melon coulis or dark and milk chocolate biscuits filled with pistachio nut cream! I can’t understand why it isn’t! Instead, this Double Delight is about Art! (It couldn’t be anything else really!) It’s all happening here…
A couple of weeks ago I was gritting my teeth and working long hours in my shed to reach a deadline for an exhibition. I was lucky I had an assistant helping me. My son, Arthur, was doing his year 10 work experience week with me (not by choice unfortunately, he wanted to do something…
