A year and a half ago, Dusen Dusen posted on Instagram a mosaic in her backyard that Matthew Chambers and friends made and it sort of unlocked a portal of inspiration in my brain that made me feel like I must make an insane and collaborative mosaic immediately !
In our garage, there’s an area that’s going to be the main hangout spot, especially once our backyard is skatable, so it’s a perfect area for an art piece.
Bobby (Dragon Crete) and Clayton poured the slab with a perfect lip to allow for tile, which Brandon and I (and my very-invested-in-this-project friends 🫶🏼) have very slowly designed and laid out.
I've been collecting used tile from Austin Creative Reuse (my haven for all things creative) and Habitat for Humanity ReStore to build up my stockpile, organizing it all by color, and I just finished a little welcome message that will appear on the outside when we install some French doors. It’s a major work in progress and the largest scale project I’ve undertaken. I am an extremely detail-oriented artist and this floor is no exception.
