Kendal Hathaway — mosaic

The Arts Center Exhibitions:

• 'Portals,' Winter Show & Silent Auction, 2011
• 'Artists @ Work,' 2011

Kendal Hathaway from Phoenix AZ is a mosaic artist, working in glass in a contemporary, monumental style. Although her work is small, it feels big. Her landscapes have a high level of abstraction, to the extent that they seem non-representational compositions.

Artist's Statement, 'Portals,' Winter Show & Silent Auction, 2011:

The ‘Land of Enchantment’ was my childhood home.  At a young age I developed a deep appreciation for the aesthetic beauty that exists in the Native cultures of New Mexico.  The sculptors, weavers, sand painters, silversmiths, and potters were my first source of influence and inspiration.

Today my work is conceptually influenced by historical mosaicists and aims to personify the ephemeral and eternal qualities that exist both physically and spiritually.  Each piece of glass I hand cut and each cut is intentional as I sculpt in a methodical process that is both intuitive and experimental.

Artist's Statement, 'Artists @ Work,' 2011:
