Mosiacs at Dallas International Terminal D

April 25, 2008

Never had much chance in Dallas to look at at art, but a three-hour layover gave me plenty of time to study a big collection of what they tell me is eight million dollars of public art installed at the International Terminal D.

I especially enjoyed a series of mosaics in the floor. These are photos of Jane Helslander’s “Floating in Space: A Waltz.” What is it about mosaics that are so intriquing? Is it the way the tiny fragments fit together to make a bigger image?

Here are some more photos on Flickr.

    OF COURSE you like mosaics. What else resembles the tiny pieces fitting together more than a quilt!

    “What is it about mosaics that are so intriquing? Is it the way the tiny fragments fit together to make a bigger image?” Sorta like quilting? :)

    Can I ask an arty question? How do you decide that a sketch is good enough to become a quilt? Are there certain criteria or do you just know?
