Sun Salutations, © 2007 Sun Valley Health Center, Sun Valley, CA Byzantine glass, hand-painted ceramic tile, and photo-transferred porcelain tile Exterior mosaic 72"H x 120"W Hand-painted ceramic tile Fabricators: Mosaika Art and Design, Canada The Sun was chosen as the primary metaphor for this project since the word "sun" is part of Sun Valley's name, and because it is an image of regeneration, warmth and healing. The artist wanted the people entering this facility, and sitting in its waiting room, to immediately feel this "warmth". All of the works in this project began as photomontage designs and were translated into Byzantine glass, hand-painted ceramic tile, photo-transferred porcelain tile and translucent colored-glass windows.
