Prior to starting my mosaic, I heard someone describe Kenneth Steven’s poems as having a 'fractured syntax'; which on reading ‘A Song Among the Stones’ made sense to me. It became the starting point for my piece, entitled “Scapes”; a series of small panels following the journey of the Papar from the brooding Scottish landscape to the light of their new home (which to me evoked the landscape of the Fens, where I lived as a child – muted tones and bulrushes!).

My use of recycled materials emphasizes my frustration at our throwaway society; ruining our Garden of Eden by too much landfill. This mosaic is made on salvaged corner shelving boards and a variety of vintage tiles; old crockery and discarded ceramics from my sister-in-law’s pottery.
