Today marks the final day of my work with Twinfield students. All in all it was a lovely experience. The students were so welcoming, and most eager to experiment and “play,” which is a big part of what its all about. I think its fair to say that they are really excited to see what in the world will be done with all of the images. So am I

So now I will begin the long and detail intensive process of cataloguing all of the tiles, and arranging them into the mosaic. Workplan looks something like:

• Photograph tiles
• Work with school to develop “source” image (might be a tile to create a fun micro-macro “find the source” game)
• Create composite image
• Number tiles
• Create directory (so people can find their own, friends’ etc by name
• Install

Something else I have thought of along the way – which hasn’t been approved yet – is to “float” some really elegant quotations about place just off the surface of the mosaic. I am thinking they could be etched (sandblasted) or screened onto the narrow (8″ x 72″ say) plexiglass strips and fastened 3-4″ off of the surface using narrow metal risers – like bolts without the threads. We’ll see how far that goes.
