Hillary Sloate Mosaics

© Hillary Chisholm Sloate 2007/8

Adam & Eve, 2007, mosaic clay, re-used, stained and vitreous glass, each 4 x 4 in.

Adam and Eve (Aplectrum hyemale) is endangered in CT, MA, NJ, NY, PA and VT, due to habitat decline. In the orchid family, a glue can be made from the tubers.

Mosaic Clay is a unique clay formula that Hillary has developed with Professor Turker Ozdogan. Glass and ceramic tesserae are fused into the clay. There is no adhesive or grout. Hillary strives for a low carbon footprint in this process by once-firing the clay, using salvaged glass, and getting raw materials from local sources.
