The author seeks to inspire the reader to pick up a fragment of stone or glass 'a tessera' and start a journey of exploration. Through reinterpretations of works of art - some of them mosaics and some in other media - the projects reveal the practical techniques you will need. With examples from all over the world and capturing the essence of Art Deco New York, of the surreal creations of Antonio Gaudi and of innovative subway art among others, Modern Mosaics is a unique and exciting approach to the subject, including some challenging three-dimensional projects. The gallery of inspirational works exhibits the medium's versatility, strengths and cutting edge to the full, and includes examples from around the world.
