The ceramic assemblage of my vision of Florence ( see previous post) is now finished. This photo collage has details of the Venetian smalti or handmade mosaic tiles incorporated to represent the River Arno . We stayed on its banks in January and I see it as the bloodstream of the city .. hence the beautiful and expensive tiles flowing through my work . It also features wooden lasts for the handmade leather shoes crafted there and reference to the violin maker and historic marbled paper made in the city. Have you visited ? Would love to hear your comments …
