Primitive

Primitive

Posted by Wendy Nelson on 8/7/2007
The "Primitive" mosaic wall hanging symbolizes women throughout history and their strength. A tribute to hard work and beauty, their perseverence in caring for themselves and their love for hand crafted adornments and keepsakes. Mosaic art is composed on a rock that is clear-coated and very textured with indentations and shapes that hold some of the elements in a balanced manner. Copper wire and steel wire wrapped, copper colored metallic threads, copper leaf and hand painted tiles. Rough textured, natural feeling, yet framed.

I always thought that oils and painting were the most creative artform, so when I was able to use hard forms and start to make creative art, it was somewhat of a surprise to me. It was also a lot more painful - with all of the glass. Mosaics are now what I prefer. The antique stores hide their beautiful plates when they see me coming and my husband shakes his head in disbelief, as I purchase beautiful hand-painted plates to break with a five pound hammer later that evening. : ) But, I could never have made the Moonlit Dance without all those wonderful pieces! A lady at our local store, Jamestown Glass, is helping me find the right glass to use for glass-on-glass mosaics. Glass, Lucite, Glass with two plastic layers in between - we are experimenting. I have power tools now and that was an exciting event. Buying agate from a man in Colorado, and pawing through that and grouping it by colorations for future pieces... So much to do and so little time! As artists, I think we have more fun than other people... or maybe we just appreciate time, our God-given talents, and the challenge to do something with them. Even if it's not great art that we do. It's in the "doing" that we grow. Building and creating and learning!
