The tree motifs are like sentries, standing on guard and providing a warm welcome for visitors. The animals, insects and plants are depicted in such a humane way, and the borders add such distinction to the installation. And many thanks for including the delightful MODEL for the project — for all of us who thrive on seeing the “inner workings”.

So looking forward to a whole volume devoted to these inspiring mosaics, and learning the back story of each project.
