Mary Wells has created a unique collage technique by adapting the Italian craft mosaico minuto—a Roman mosaic technique using minuscule glass tiles—by substituting the glass tesserae with either high quality printed papers or pieces cut from my own acrylic painted papers. Each paper mosaic is a visual journal of the artist's life. Viewed together the mosaics form a personal narrative with each tied to a sense of place and specific part of her life experience.
