Mosaic Commission for LimeLight Lodge, Aspen Colorado


I just finished up seven mosaic trout for the swimming pool at the LimeLight Lodge in Aspen, Colorado. They came out great. Most of the glass is Sicis Iridium, the same iridescent glass I used for the Alden Bank sign a few years back. I love using it for fish mosaics because it makes them shimmer as the light shifts just like a real fish. What excites me about this project is that the mosaics will be installed on the bottom of a swimming pool… so I think the light will do really interesting things as it goes through the water.

Below is a slideshow of the mosaics pulled from my Flickr account. I've posted print quality images to flickr if you'd like to see these mosaics in greater detail.

Do you have questions or comments?

About John

John T. Unger If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. — John T. Unger
