Inspired Cake

/
I just received an email from TH Rodgers school, where I participated in career week back in October.  They made a cake inspired by my work.  Yum!!




UPDATE: I got another wonderful email from a TH Rodger student who is kind enough to allow me to post it below.  Thank you Ciera!!


Dear Ms. Gay,
 
        Today in art class we made cakes based on certain artists work. My group chose your peice The Bethnic Zone. The cake took alot of hard work but in the end it turned out fenominal and I would love for you to see it. I havent taken a pictire of it yet for you to see but I will try to take one A.S.A.P. The cake doesnt look exactly like the peice because we didnt have all of the resources to make it exact but I think our hard work paid off. Please write back.
 
Thank You,

Syncopation Sea Installation

/
In May the team from Mosaika came back down to Houston to help install 3 mosaic murals in the newly built Ocean and Coastal Studies building at Texas A&M Galveston. The two mosaics were fabricated out of tumbled smalti at the Mosaika studio in Montreal. The tumbled smalti produced the prefect soften underwater effect for the mosaics. The relief sculpture, Benthic Zone, was fabricated here in my studio. My assistant Kate and I worked from February to May, hand forming clay and fusing and flame working glass to represent microscopic ocean life. The building is now open! Come check out the finished product and for more images of the installation visit the Mosaika Galveston installation blog.
The Wonderful Team! My, what 5 women can do...
