To the right are digital
renderings of a very large exterior stone mosaic titled "Exhale".
Architects and designers may find these projects interesting
not only visually, but also the way they incorporate the functionality
of the building itself into the overall artwork. Accent lighting
not only creates amazing depth and shadows, but also provides
much needed task lighting for high traffic areas. The durability
of the materials also provides a low maintenance exterior,
which is always important in permanent, functional works of
art. Possible locations may include walls, floors, ceilings
and water features, in both interior and exterior locations.

Architectural
mosaic art lends itself to Public Art projects and Community
Involvement projects as well. These photos were part of two
different artist in residency projects involving over 350
elementary school children in their design and creation.Classes
about the history of mosaic art and its applications were
also included in these projects.
