Hand-made tile, smalti / 9 x 40 feet / Erlanger Hospital Tennessee,
My son, Timur, and I created Erlanger Non-Denomintional Chapel mosaic together with Craig Kronenberg (HK Architects) and his team. Abstracted birds and nest represent care, shelter and spirit. The ornamental markings reference ancient scripts. We handmade the tiles on the campus of Baylor School. Awarded “Ten Best Mosaics” by the Society of American Mosaic Artists 2016.

The Baylor mosaic was one of the first mosaic projects I have done. I was Artist in Residence at Baylor School, seeking a language of my own in mosaic, combining hand-made pieces with smalti and iridescent glass. The theme was chosen by the school, because the mosaic is in the Arts building.

I painted the Christ and disciples after the fishing miracle has already taken place, when calm has descended on the small group. Peter is the figure listening to Christ.

When I was designing this mural, I was combining opposites. For example, Peter is a tired, helpless man in this moment, and he is lifted by young and powerful female angels. The angels fly in open, illuminated space, where Peter was trapped in confined darkness.
