Gathering of Fragments: SA Mosaics Exhibition
Advertisement
Exhibition Opens: Friday 4 September at 6 pm
Opening Speaker: Lindy Sando and Vaughan Taylor from Art Glass Design in Port Elliot
Complimentary drinks and nibbles on arrival.
Gathering of Fragments brings together a diverse collection of contemporary mosaic works that explore memory, place, transformation, and connection through the language of broken and reassembled materials. Presented at Pepper Street Arts Centre in September, this exhibition celebrates the mosaic as both an ancient artform and a vibrant contemporary practice.
Each artwork begins with fragments — pieces of ceramic, glass, stone, found objects, and discarded materials — gathered, shaped, and brought into new relationships. Through careful placement and composition, these fragments are transformed into works that speak of resilience, renewal, and the beauty found in imperfection. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how individual pieces, seemingly incomplete on their own, can become part of something layered, meaningful, and whole.
The artists featured in Gathering of Fragments draw inspiration from personal histories, natural landscapes, urban textures, and the rhythms of everyday life. Some works evoke intimate stories and emotional landscapes, while others celebrate colour, pattern, and material experimentation. Together, they reveal the versatility of mosaic as a medium capable of both quiet reflection and bold visual expression.
At its heart, the exhibition reflects on the act of gathering itself — collecting memories, experiences, and remnants of the past, and reshaping them into new narratives. In a world often marked by fragmentation and change, these mosaics offer moments of contemplation, connection, and reconstruction.
Gathering of Fragments invites visitors to slow down and look closely: to notice texture, detail, and the spaces between pieces; to discover how broken elements can create unexpected harmony; and to experience the enduring power of art to assemble beauty from what has been scattered.
Exhibition concludes on Friday 2 October at 4 pm.
