In appreciation for the Reggae legend who died 30 years ago on May 11 this song haunted my playlist this week…

I love these incredible mosaic portaits created by S.A. Schimmel Gold, who composes the Worholesque pics with hundreds of tiny, hand-planced scraps of postcards, menus, and junk mail. An avid recycler, she even mixes the water-based, non-toxic glue by hand.
Her portraits of some famous people are fascinating (I find myself wishing I could read the works in the tiles she has pains-takingly cut and glued together to shade and enhance). She also does personalized portraits of people using photographs as references. Being an artist who is fascinated with faces, I just love these works. I’m not sure I’d be patient enought to attempt this, but these faces are inspiring me to work my own art.
