Description
 A black & white picture of your chosen image, created from hundreds of individually crafted tiles with your photos and memorabilia embedded within. When viewed close up the piece appears to be a general composition of miniature images, and as the onlooker stands further away an overall picture suddenly materializes.
Material
Over one thousand small glass tiles with images embedded within, mounted onto a clear acrylic panel using a strong adhesive. The overall piece captures the seductive tactile and reflective qualities of glass.
Technique
Emily has developed the process for embedding the images within the glass. The positioning of the tiles is done primarily by eye. This is done by placing a range of dark to light images to create the different tones required to make up the overall picture.
Overall size:
Other sizes/ profiles. Please contact
Emily to discuss.
Hanging
The piece can either be screwed directly onto the wall or framed for hanging from wall mounts.
Main image
The type of image that works well as the large overall image is one that is close-up, with high contrast and not too much detail. Emily can advise you as to the suitability of any image.
Small images
A minimum of 30 original images are required. The higher the number of images used, the better the definition of the overall picture.
Source material
Source material could include photographs, drawings, illustrations and text. These can be obtained from your own archive, through public databases or commissioned photographs. Emily is particularly inspired by old photographs and memorabilia.
Please note: where appropriate, it is the responsibility of the client to obtain permission for use from the owner of any materials used. |
Image format
Images can be provided as either flat artwork (e.g. photographs, drawings, letters) or digital. The latter should be Jpeg or Tiff files and the highest quality possible, a minimum of 300dpi. These should be sent on disk and not emailed. The source material can be black & white or coloured. These will be scanned by Emily and modified to greyscale for the piece.
All source materials will be returned to you when the work is completed.
