Kristen Meyer, a multimedia artist with a kaleidoscope for a mind, transcends the boundaries of traditional mosaics. Forget the glistening tiles – Meyer’s masterpieces are meticulously crafted from the unexpected: a rainbow of candies, the delicate shards of eggshells, even the forgotten odds and ends scattered around the house. With a keen eye for geometry, she transforms these ordinary objects into mesmerizing mosaics, their familiar forms morphing into intricate patterns and mesmerizing textures.
Meyer’s artistic journey is as fascinating as her materials. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of interior design, prop styling, and even floristry, she imbues her work with a sense of playfulness and vibrancy. Imagine a swirling vortex crafted from colorful pasta shapes, or a portrait composed entirely of fallen leaves, their textures whispering secrets of the changing seasons. Meyer’s mosaics are more than just art; they’re an invitation to rediscover the magic hidden in the ordinary, a reminder that beauty can bloom from the most unexpected places.
As far as how I find materials to experiment with, it varies a lot. I generally work with what I can find around the house, inside or out. It begins as a scavenger hunt of sorts, and then a challenge as I begin to build.
