Mosaic - Whole View

The entrance of HUB youth centre/theatre on New Street in the CBD; this is the entire mosaic facade from across the street. One last extra shot here.

Meg's Map says: "Hub Mosaic. The Hub is a community centre for young people. The heart and star mosaic, by Nelson sculptor Valeska Campion, was installed in 1999. The side panels of individually crafted ceramic tiles were created as a community arts project, involving Nelson schoolchildren and sponsor companies. "

Keropok Man, Meg is sitting in the corner, facing the wall.

    The arch around the doorway looks like a giant mouth, Id be afraid of getting swallowed up! Interesting photo.

    Hi Meg and Ben, it's great to be back and see what you're up to. I love your mosaic series, both the details and the whole. The red net was also very intriguing to me.

    PS - had a great three days in Tokyo!

    Thank for comment everyone.
    I'm glad you like the series. When I find some other suitable subject, I will compose something like this. Until then, I'm going back to a normal mode. (Well, I do wondering what the normal mode is...)

    I can't find Meg in the picture (were you referring to this one?) But I really like this building-Nelson has such charm! The detail of the shot in your sketchbook is great too.

    Thank Cristina.
    She's not in this picture. She was in the house doing that, because of the comment addressed to Keropok man in the other post of this series.

    This is way cool! I love how the overspray works at the right and the oversizedness of it all.
