In a dream - Isaiah Zagar

In a dream

A few months ago I saw an amazing documentary 'In a dream' about the life of Isaiah Zagar. It was so incredible to watch this amazing mosiac artist who has mosaic something like 13 kilometres of building and street in Philadelphia. His work is so beautiful it has inspired me to mosaic the wall adjacent our garden in our courtyard.  

The doc has been directed by Isaiah's son Jeremiah showing a lifetime of family movies, and a story about Isiah, and his wife, life and art. Isaiah's mosiac art works are incredible full of colour and life, depicting the story of his life. Massive walls covered with tiles, glass, mirrors and paint a millions colours and designs, faces of his children, the birth of his children, his wife. Just amazing. 

I have just completely fallen in love with this man, his family and life, and LOVE his beautiful art. I thank them for sharing this with me. 

There is a DVD I will buy which shows me how to do mosaic, so maybe this will be my next exploration in art.
