A-Z A Handbook

 

10 February -  9 August 2009 

An exhibition of meaningful mosaic images by Cleo Mussi.

A quiet moment of contemplation with any of these works and they begin to share some of their subtle secrets – themes of loss, love, divinity, fear and retribution – the world of fairy tale. This is why Cleo is probably the leading exponent of mosaic art and why you should spend some quiet time alone with her work.

All pieces are for sale.
