“Completing this piece was a tremendous undertaking. At one point, it required I work on it 12-16 hours per day; and if my guesstimation is correct, I laid 14,000-15,000 ‘tiles’ in assembling their dresses.” A new masterpiece born in the world of fantastic artist @tawnychatmon, all these stunning details, pieces and layers! Tawny shares regarding the piece’s context and her inspiration: “While in Venice during the Biennale, I stood again charmed by tilework, mosaics, and icons. An icon is a work typically of religious nature. These visual declarations were used to assist the observer in focusing on all things sacred and were viewed as literal prayers. My icons are not meant to be worshipped but regarded as important, precious, sacred, valuable, and an embodiment of my prayers.” — #beautifulbizarre #tawnychatmon #mixedmedia #art #inspiration #artist #photography #portrait #artist #contemporaryart #newcontemporary https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFymYxorzY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
