 Propulsion (2009), ​a 20 foot diameter mosaic,
executed in handset, smalti-glass tiles and
permanently installed at Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport, Concourse B.
My intention was to give viewers a lyrical sense
of harmony and equilibrium in motion as they
​traverse the concourse center point.
 The design is inspired by the modern turbo
fan jet engine, with a  nod to classical ancient
mosaics.  I use large geometric arcs to evoke
the uplift of flight and smaller circles of rich
modulated colors that merge into the design.  
The light reflective, hand cut tiles were
fabricated by Miotto Mosaics, with whom I
worked closely in their studio near Venice,
Italy, and on site at the airport.
