Mosaic Walls in Progress - Early Stages

Sonia's currently working on four large mosaic murals for Children's Medical Center of Dallas. The walls, each approximately 8' high by 17' wide will be featured on four new patient floors. Created from a varied mix of materials, the mosaics are designed to be visually stimulating as well as texturally engaging. Many thanks to Mitchell Associates, the Interior Architecture firm, for the professional renderings of Sonia's designs.

                              Shapes

Each curved wall has a theme: Shapes, Symbols, Balloons and Nature. Not only do the elements change size and color as they move across the wall, but the background also changes color as it flows from left to right.

Balloons Mosaic by Sonia King

Wall number one, in the beginning. The blue spots are masking tape labels.

Detail of one of the ballons.

Sorry for the odd angle. The Balloon wall is the first one finished but it's not installed in this picture. This was taken from a ladder in order to get it all in the picture. 

Here's the Shapes wall, being installed on panels by Ryan Skinner. The panels will be hung and 'fresco grouting' begins next week.
