Kimmy McHarrie Mosaics
A fine art mosaic artist using venetian glass, stone, shells, gold leaf smalti , semi precious stones and found objects.
Whitstable, England
My work has always been collage led and I see mosaic as an extension of this, colour, shape and texture being all important. I try to bring a new approach to the ancient art of mosaic. Mosaic making is a very physical process. Each piece of coloured glass or stone is cut by hand using a hammer and hardie, the traditional mosaicist’s tools. The process I use for completing the mosaic is called the double reverse method, which I learnt in Ravenna, Italy, the historic centre of Byzantine mosaic.
