Mosaic Mural at Esalen Institute
Big Sur, CA, 2016
65 square-feet permanent mosaic mural for Esalen’s historic lodge.
I designed a mosaic inspired by the magnificent Big Sur coastline.
The large mural incorporates stained glass and ceramic tile with unique found material.
It was created in a weeklong workshop setting and then permanently installed on a wall.
Watch a 30-second long video of the 4-day final installation here.
