Edition D: Great Blue Archival Giclee Print, black border, 10 x 22

Edition 4/100

Sue Rose developed her unique “painting with glass” style of mosiac art during the 2020-2021 pandemic. She began working in mosaic at the start of 2020 during the Covid lockdown, first trying out traditional methods, and then experimenting with new techniques and materials with each new work. With the creation of Great Blue in the fall of 2021, her signature technique emerged, which she describes as “painting with glass”. Her ultimate objective is to convey the overwhelming beauty, grace, and elegance found in the natural world. By painstakingly cutting each piece of glass to utilize the colors, patterns, and textures already present in the material, she creates mosaic works that show movement, light, and detail not often possible with traditional mosaic methods. Her use of irregular grout patterns helps to show perpetual movement and lead the eye through the piece as well. Sue enjoys including an occasional healing stone, mineral, resin, or shell to her mosaics for their healing benefits. Her methods break the rules of classic mosaic technique while celebrating the absolute perfection we can find in our “imperfect” world.
