“Totemic Mosaic” by Clarissa Rizal – first of a series of canvas “mosaics.”
okay, I’ve got to admit I am surrounded by artists and musicians and quite frankly I like it that way. My son-in-law, Chris Haas was over at my friend’s Cecil and Rosalia Touchon’s house – and when you are at the Touchon’s you cannot help but be influenced by one thing or another and sure enough, Chris came home with the idea of using the left over canvas pieces (from stretching canvas for the Touchon’s) and he created these really cool “mosaics” of geometric imagery – and Chris said with a big grin “oh yeah, I can see the wheels turning in Clarissa’s head…before ya know it, she’s going to do her version of this simple work of mine (which is based on Touchon’s work),…!
Yep, he’s absolutely right. I am so hooked on these mosaics, I’m already cutting, pasting, painting and laughing with delight on a couple more. Stay tuned for the next ones!
