Second international symposium Patagonia

In December 2021 I was allowed to participate in the second international mosaic symposium of Patagonia. At the invitation of Maestro Giulio Menossi – the artistic director of the symposium from Udine.

25 participants were selected from a very large group of applications. So it was a real honor to be selected.

The assignment was, kaleidoscope – disappear in colors and that included a film in which we got a presentation of this beautiful country.

After studying a kaleidoscope, I decided to make a sphere with several triangular faces, which is called an icosahedron. I first made a small design in paper and then I made a solid base for my mosaic.
No fewer than 20 triangles had to be filled in with contrasting colors and subjects. In any case, that was quite a challenge.
You can see the result in the attached photos and in the short film on the right, where you see the sphere in motion.

The title of the work is: Reflected refraction

Dimensions are approximately 45 cm in diameter, the mirrors are all 60 x 60 cm and the triangles have legs of 23 cm each.

Many thanks to Giulio Menossi and Barbara for inviting me to take up this challenge.
