Andalusian in Grey Scale

Entry #: TT 2020

Entrant: Lisa St. Marie

Dimensions: 21" x 31"

Materials: Cotton, tulle, selvedge and Inktense® pencil.

Credits: Original mosaic of Andalusian by Jaroslaw Glinski.

Artist’s Statement: The "Textile Translations" category challenged me to transform the original, solid, ceramic tile mosaic into a soft, textile copy using quarter-inch tiles of fabric only. Forming light and shadow with tiny squares in shades of grey, I worked to retain the power, beauty and character of the Andalusian horse.
