Nek Chand has stirred the imagination of rich and poor and persons of all races and nations, regardless of their beliefs. It is a mixture of folk-art and provocative plastic forms of all shapes and sizes, blended in a natural and most imaginative environment created by the Master of Arts.
Going through the narrow passages one can experience sudden surprises of beautifully landscaped open spaces articulated by sculptures reminding you of Henry Moore. Nek Chand’s architectural and engineering innovations have the touch of Antonio Gaudi.

‘Ram in a Thicket’ mosaic covered london museum on Flickr - davideferro
From Ur, southern Iraq, about 2600-2400 BC. This is one of an almost identical pair discovered by Leonard Woolley in the ‘Great Death Pit’, one of the graves in the Royal Cemetery at Ur. The other is now in the University of Pennsylvania Museum in Philadelphia. It was named the ‘Ram in a Thicket’ by the excavator Leonard Woolley, who liked biblical allusions. In Genesis 22:13, God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, but at the last moment ‘Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son’.
mosaic covered Ram Ur, S. Iraq, on Flickr - davideferro
The ‘ram’ is more accurately described as a goat, and he reaches up for the tastiest branches in a pose often adopted by goats. Goats and sheep in the Near East were among the earliest animals to be domesticated. They were an everyday feature of agricultural life and are regularly depicted by artists in many different ways. The figure had been crushed flat by the weight of the soil and the wooden core had perished. Wax was used to keep the pieces together as it was lifted from the ground, and it was then pressed back into shape. The ram’s head and legs are covered in gold leaf, its ears are copper (now green), its twisted horns and the fleece on its shoulders are of lapis lazuli, and its body fleece is made of shell. Its genitals are gold. The tree is covered in gold leaf, with golden flowers, the whole supported on a small rectangular base decorated with a mosaic of shell, red limestone and lapis lazuli.

Mosaic Commemorative Panel, Shell Grotto, Margate on Flickr - AllieW
The Shell Grotto in Margate is an amazing little place. According to their literature, there are 4.6 million shells there and 20000 square feet of mosaic. The leaflet elaborates further:
“In 1835, Mr James Newlove lowered his young son Joshua into a hole in the ground that had appeared during the digging of a duckpond. Joshua emerged describing tunnels covered with shells. He had discovered The Shell Grotto, a series of passages leading to a rectangular chamber, its walls decorated with strange symbols mosaiced in millions of shells. Is it an ancient pagan temple? A meeting place for some secret cult? Nobody can explain who built this amazing place, or why, but since its accidental discovery visitors from all over the world have been intrigued by the beautiful mosaic and the unsolved mystery”.

As part of the Mesa Conference SAMA member Kim Emerson led two workshops on large-scale architectural mosaics.
Participating SAMA members fabricated a series of five panels (designed by Kim) in a fun-filled mosaic marathon! They utilized Kim’s method of face-taping the design and thinsetting it to panels. The finished panels were then donated to the Southwest Human Development, a not-for-profit organization with the mission of creating a positive future for young children. The mosaic panels were mounted on the exterior wall of SWHD’s four-story building in Phoenix, Arizona.

The City Palace of Udaipur
The City Palace of Udaipur is one of the most remarkable constructions of the Rajput rulers of Rajasthan. Located in the heart of the city of Udaipur and towering over the Lake Pichola, the City Palace unfailingly infuses a sense of awe in the hearts of its onlookers. It is the standing testimony of Rajput passion for art and architecture despite the fact that the exterior is not as elegant as the interiors.

Galla Placidia Mausoleum on Flickr - by James Macdonald
The Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a highly important Byzantine mausoleum in Ravenna, Italy. It is one of the eight structures in Ravenna that were inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1996. As the UNESCO experts reasoned, “it is the earliest and best preserved of all mosaic monuments, and at the same time one of the most artistically perfect”.

Mausoleu de Gal·la Placídia, Ravenna on Flickr - by Sebastia Giralt
Built in 425-430 AD, the structure is designed in the shape of a Greek cross, and has a cupola that is entirely in mosaics, representing eight apostles and symbolical figures of doves drinking from a vessel. The other four apostles are represented on the vaults of the transverse arm; over the door is a representation of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd, young, beardless, with flowing hair, and surrounded by sheep; opposite, there is a subject that is interpreted as representing Saint Lawrence. Thin, translucent panels of stone admit light into the structure through the windows.

galla placidia interior on Flickr - by designucdavis
The building contains three sarcophagi; the largest is said to have been that of Galla Placidia, and that her embalmed body was deposited there in a sitting position, clothed with the imperial mantle; in 1577, however, the contents of the sarcophagus were accidentally burned. The sarcophagus to the right is attributed to Emperor Valentinian III or to Galla Placidia’s brother, Emperor Honorius. The one on the left is attributed to Galla Placidia’s husband, Emperor Constantius III. In fact this building was the oratory of a wider church: the Holy Cross.

The inside is relatively small and extremely simple. The mausoleum was intended from the very start to be covered with mosaics, and these are the oldest in Ravenna. The eye is seduced by the brilliance of the colours, which mask the architecture and create an illusionistic effect.

smalti
smalto (pl. smalti) - smalti is characterized by its dazzling range of brilliant opaque colors. Smalti is prepared by adding crystalline material (corpo) and coloured material (anima) to the colourless or coloured fused glass. Smalti is literally available in thousands of colors, is a very stable glass, easy to cut and very durable. m.a.s. mosaic glossary

gold leaf tesserae (mosaic gold)
gold leaf tesserae (mosaic gold) - 24k gold-leaf tesserae are made up of a glass support layer (usually transparent, at times opaque red or coloured) less than one centimetre thick. The 24k gold metal leaf is then sandwiched between the support and a thin protective glass layer (the cartellina). In tesserae the colour shade is determined by the purity of the metal, the thickness of the leaf, the colour, if any, of the cartellina and of the support. m.a.s.mosaic glossary

Mosaic Creek Park
Artist/ Facilitator: Glen Anderson & Marina Szijarto
This park was developed by the Britannia Neighbours, a group who envisioned a public green space in the place of three vacant lots. The project was sponsored by Britannia Neighbours Community Group. Originally, neighbourhood input indicated a desire for a stream to run through the park. When this proved impractical, a stream of mosaics was proposed as a metaphor for community. Artists Glen Anderson and Kristine Germann worked with project co-ordinator Sarah White to run workshops with area residents and school classes. Over 300 community members created individual mosaics to complete the path which wends its way diagonally across this small park. Other community artworks and features of the park include a pebble mosaic boarded herb garden, designed and coordinated by Glen Anderson and Marina Szijarto, specially designed wooden benches with text scrolled into them, and a basalt pillar play area designed by Sarah White.

Technical Details (taken from Britannia Art Site Inventory (June, 2002)) The main section of the Creek is approximately 80 feet long and 5 feet wide. There are two shorter sections, each about 10 feet long. Each section is made from individual mosaic designs set into a concrete base. Individuals or groups of participants were given a shape cut from an overall template of the creek. The shapes, when re-assembled, gave a connected visual wave pattern. Participants glued whole and broken tile to netting for later installation, piece by piece and section by section. Wellbond Concrete-Compatible glue was used to secure the tile to the mesh. Thin-Set was used to attach the pieces to the concrete base. The entire creek was then grouted using regular exterior grout.

Glimpse of Petra Treasury on Flickr - by charlietyack
Where is Petra?
Petra is a spectacular ancient Nabataean city in western Jordan. With massive façades that have been carved entirely out of the existing red sandstone, Petra’s magnificent temples and tombs are like no other religious buildings in the world, and the surrounding rugged landscape dotted with historical sites are a hiker’s paradise.
Petra has been a city of great religious significance both in ancient times and today. First, it has a number of connections with the Old Testament: the nearby Ain Mousa (Spring of Moses) is believed to be where Moses struck a rock with his staff to extract water and Aaron is said to have died in the Petra area and been buried on what is today the sacred site atop Jabal Haroun (Mount Aaron). Later, the city built by the Nabataeans was packed with tombs, temples, sanctuaries and altars to their gods. And in its last years, Petra was the home of several Byzantine churches.

Amidst Petra’s ancient temples is a Byzantine church dating from the 5th and 6th centuries. Still being excavated, Petra Church contains some extraordinary mosaics.
Detail of the Petra church mosaics on Flickr - by fee6ee
The Petra Church seems to have first been built over Nabataean and Roman remains around 450 AD. It may have been a major 5th- and 6th-century cathedral, which is intriguing given the other evidence of Petra’s decline after a 363 AD earthquake.

How old are the mosaics of Petra?
When first constructed around 450, the church had only one apse and an entrance porch. The Mosaic of the Seasons in the southern aisle is from this period. In 500-50 AD, the church was remodeled. Two side apses were installed and the two-story atrium built. The nave was paved and the chancel screens, a pulpit, and wall mosaics were installed, as were the mosaics of the northern aisle and the eastern end of the southern aisle.
petra_church_deer_mosaic on Flickr - by taijibasset
Each of the side aisles of Petra Church is paved with 70 square meters of remarkably preserved mosaics, depicting native as well as exotic or mythological animals, as well as personifications of the Seasons, Ocean, Earth and Wisdom. Also surviving are significant remains of the nave’s paving in marble and stone in geometric designs.

You’ve published a couple of photos lately by a Northern California artist named Benny Bufano. The St. Francis in this morning’s entry is his and is indeed at the Mondavi Winery. His works are all over the Bay Area and are characterized by beautifully rounded figures of animals as well as numerous versions of St. Francis and are often embellished with mosaics. He’s one of our local treasures and was quite a man — totally committed to peace.
NT, I had no idea this was by Benny Bufano although looking at it again I should have guessed. I’m so glad you were able to give us more info, thanks again!

Queen Califia’s Magic Circle Mosaic Sculpture Garden - Niki de Saint Phalle - Escondido, California
This unusual sculpture garden was created by the late, internationally famous Niki de Saint Phalle. It is one of the four large-scale sculptural environments designed and built by the artist and her studio collaborators, and the only one located in the United States. The garden is a joint effort by Saint Phalle, who financed the sculpture project, and the city of Escondido, which acquired the land and is responsible for landscaping, maintenance and operation.
queencalifia16 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Saint Phalle chose as her subject the mythical Queen Califia, an Amazon warrior for whom the state of California is named. This amazing creature, first popularized in a 16th century romance novel, is believed to have ruled a terrestrial island paradise of gold and riches “on the right hand of the Indies.”
queencalifiacircle1 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
She conceived the garden as a gigantic circle (120 feet in diameter) with an 11-foot statue of Queen Califia in the center. Clad in gold armor astride a monumental, 13-foot eagle, she carries another regal bird on her uplifted hand. Surrounding her are her courtiers, eight totems representing animals and elements of the land over which she reigns.
IMGP0284 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The first sight is of the imposing statue of Queen Califia, executed in mosaic, mostly gold (installed by Lech Juretko’s Art Mosaic of El Cajon).
She is a voluptuous figure that suggests power and vision as she looks West. The eagle, on which she rides, stands on four powerful legs that form a mini temple decorated with symbols of Queen Califia’s reign. This space is accessible to children and small adults.
IMGP0273 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Entrance to the magical circle is through a maze of black, white and mirror tiles on the walls and floor. Inside, the scale and breadth of Saint Phalle’s vision is impressive. The floor of the circle is tiled in white ceramic circles of varying diameters.
Queen Califa’s Magical Circle, Kit Carson Park on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Saint Phalle intended for the garden to be user-friendly. “You can feel the sculptures,” she said in one of her last interviews. “They feel nice and you won’t harm them. You can be a part of them; it’s like a marriage between the sculptures and a child, or adult. Maybe it brings out the child in adults, too.”
Queen Califa’s Magical Circle, Kit Carson Park on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The central courtyard, with shade from trees in planters around the walls, reflects that feeling. Three benches of travertine marble and river rocks that front the planters will seat approximately 60 visitors at a time. The entire project is a visual delight. Everything about the sculpture garden is cursive.
queencalifiacircle10 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
The walls undulate in an irregular circle, and rise and fall in height from 4 to 9 feet. The interior walls are faced with Mexican pebble stones and tens of thousands of hand-cut glass, ceramic and stone mosaic tile. The mosaic designs are primarily bands that vary from abstract figures of plants and animals to representations of plaids, diagonals and medallions. The walls also bear ceramic plaques incised with American Indian rock art symbols along with handprints of the workers and their families.

The fiberglass totems, varying in height from 11 to 21 feet, stand at floor level and can be examined close-up. They are surreal but easily recognizable shapes mounted on columns bearing other animals and birds.

The Yelling Man Totem differs from the others. Instead of being mounted atop a column, the column is the totem, with a giant open mouth at floor level. A large iguana crawls up the back of the Cathead Totem, while the Bullhead Totem sports bears and eagles. An eagle upside down and another iguana decorate the Birdhead Totem.
