I live for sketches, layouts, swatch boards, notes, scribbles, and anything that captures the thought process. The completed mural is so mannered, wonderfully executed, beautifully conceived and visually balanced………while the sketch reminds us that all of this Design Excellence began with IDEAS, bursts of inspiration, revisions, and (dare I say) perhaps some messiness?

Since I know absolutely nothing about mosaic installations, I was interested to know how the paper backing is utilized. I was also fascinated by the undulating top edge of the mural. To me, this was a “surprise” inclusion that added visual softness to the hard edges and materials.

S’wonderful!
