The following images are examples of my “Mosaic” style of Vere’ / Eglomise’ w Reflective Elements. A grid pattern of silver, the reflective coating on the back side of a plate glass mirror, is formed, and where the lines forming the grid remain silver/reflective. I remove the reflective coating inside the grid spaces framing the clear glass areas in the grid. I then selectively add color/paint inside each small clear glass area in the grid, creating a composition of color and form within the overall border of the composition. My process of choosing the specific areas of color and form is as follows:

• A “layers of the onion” effort.

• Working throughout the entire composition.

• Painting the same swatch of color in 3 or as many as five adjacent areas of the apparent “boxes” of glass.

Repeating this process with different colors until the composition is complete in the grid frame, searching for the beginning and then the final composition in the progression of the process. Rarely are the compositions conceived or fully realized until the process is well underway. These “Mosaic” objects reflect light and open the space just as a clear mirror would, although the primary intention is the art, dreams recalled or realized, a subjective “reflective” experience.
