obama mosaic denver – mosaic miracles
This mosaic is a collaboration between myself and 50 people –one from each state. I found my volunteers on the Obama website and sent each of them a mosaic kit to get them started on their panel.

This project began in mid-July when I was so inspired by Barack that I had to do something about it ! I wanted to create a piece of art that was a visual reminder of how excited people are across the United Stated about Barack Obama and his message of hope.

I found one person from each state (actually 52 people–there are 2 people from Vermont and 2 from Illinois) to create a mosaic panel that I sent them.

It was an intense project — it took over my life for 6 weeks — but it all was worth it the second I saw it installed at the Manifest Hope gallery in Denver — I was thrilled!!!

I was fortunate to be able to grow up seeing America from varied viewpoints. My childhood was spent in Hawaii and Indonesia. After college I worked as a community organizer on the South side of Chicago focusing on improving living conditions in poor neighborhoods.
I came to understand that to truly solve the problems facing our communities, it would take a change in our laws and our politics. I ran and served for seven years in the Illinois state Senate, where I fought for expanding children’s health care, providing tax cuts for the working poor and enacting welfare reform. In 2004, I was elected to the U.S. Senate, where I have worked to pass laws securing dangerous weapons and making government more accountable. I have also opposed the Iraq war from the start, and believe that we need to bring our troops home so we can refocus on the wider struggle against terrorism.
Of all my life experiences, I am most proud of my wife Michelle and my daughters Malia and Sasha.

Obama Fabric Mosaic Photo Portrait – diana.bracy
To obtain this image, I used a photograph that was scanned into my computer. Batik and hand dyed fabrics were used to finish the Art. Thousands of small pieces were used in this process. The colors are from the fabric and not from paint, even though it appears to look like a painting!

thing that big

Thank you so much for showcasing my Obama Mosaic Photo Art. The quilt will be shown in Houston at the annual International Festival, Oct 30-Nov 02, 2008. I am honored to be here on your site. Actually, I saw your mosaic on another site and wanted to share it on my blog and with my groups. I belong to FiberArtists for Obama and Arts and Entertainment for Obama. You have completed a fantastic mosiac and it represents Changing, Hope and Community. I enjoyed reading about you. I will share yours, too.
FiberArtists just finished a quilt and we would like for it to be photographed in as many states as possible. The quilt will start here in Las Vegas and I expect to receive it next week. Please contact me if you are interested in having the quilt photographed in your state. Thanks, again, Diana Bracy
