Hanging Mosaic Art
In the summer of 2006 I began experimenting with mosaics as hangable art. At first, I called them 2-D mosaics but then I began adding 3-D elements that poked out so now I just call them hang-able mosaics. Most of them have Hardibacker (cement fiber board) for the base with hanging hardware (D hooks and wire) screwed and glued into the back. Others may be Hardibacker inserted into a wooden frame and some are on particle board or Masonite. Around this same time I began to explore abstract mosaics as well as cartoony figures like robots and rats. If you commission me to do a portrait, or a sign it would most likely come in this hang-able form. All you need is a good wall stud because the big ones can be heavy!
