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.
Thanks for showing the entire building. Its quite a masterpiece. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fanciful building with highly stimulating eye appeal.
ReplyDeleteThe arch around the doorway looks like a giant mouth, Id be afraid of getting swallowed up! Interesting photo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big mosaic.
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that schoolchildren participated!
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.
ReplyDeletePS - had a great three days in Tokyo!
This is a really cool building. It's got style.
ReplyDeletewhat a great welcome it will be.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, thanks ben. now i know who Valeska is :-)
ReplyDeletea really funky facade to make the place more fun...I wish we have something like this here in HK (or Shanghai)!
ReplyDeleteThank for comment everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'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...)
mosaics are gorgeous material, this is a beautiful piece :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris, I really like the star shapes windows surrounding.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThank Cristina.
ReplyDeleteShe'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.
ReplyDelete-Kim
Thanks Kim, I would say it's wonderfully overdone!
