Out There

Out There

by Robin Brownfield

Mosaic glass, beads, ceramic tiles


Methods: cut and paste


Inspiration: I have always been drawn to artist John Buck's woodcut print of a woodpecker in a jar. I often thought about that woodpecker and pondered how it could escape. In this mosaic, the being trapped in the bottle is finding her way out, finding her escape. Inside the bottle, everything is gray, black and, white, while outside the bottle, the world is full of color, flight, and endless possibilities.
