Mosaics with Isaiah Zagar, Philadelphia 2003

Posted by Reyaz at Tuesday, September 09, 2008 | Tuesday, September 9, 2008

In 2003, I spent the summer in Philadelphia, USA. The first few weeks were at a clay studio, and then I spent three months working on mosaics with Isaiah Zagar, a legendary mosaic artist. During this period we created more than 30 public mosaics of different sizes all over the city and a few in New Jersey and New York. The pictures below are of my 'graduation project' which took four days to complete.

About Me

I was born in Ranchi, Jharkhand. Went to Varanasi in 1994 to study ceramic design at Banaras Hindu University. My practice deals with forms derived from architecture. From the architecture of the place where I grew up to the architecture I come across while traveling in different parts of the world. My works explore different qualities observed in the rural and urban landscape and manipulate them to create forms which relate to one another. I investigate these forms in an abstract manner and manipulate them extensively, leading to a new form of its own. It is important for the forms to relate to one another, to create an environment, and to establish a relationship and a visible contrast between each other, thus encouraging the viewer to take a closer look and investigate further.
