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.
Jane, I loved your piece in Dallas. I enjoyed visiting your website. Thanks for visiting my blog!
I just came across your site and was delighted to see your photos of my floor. I’m glad that you were able to see and enjoy the work.

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