Once There Were Elephants

A few years ago I made a mosaic a little bit different from my regular, more abstract work. Once There Were Elephants was displayed in York and London in exhibitions hosted by the British Association for Modern Mosaic. It elicited several questions about how it was made. So today I’m sharing a bit more detail about the process.

The idea for this piece came from another mosaic I had made a couple of years previously, which was in turn inspired by a rhino, more specifically, the decline in their population numbers.
