Jonathan Mandell Mosaics Now in the Lobby of the Bryn Mawr Film Institute

Jonathan Mandell's Casablanca mosaic (96" x 36"x 2") 2000 is now in the lobby of the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. This mosaic was made using ceramic tile, and various semiprecious stones and minerals including jade, rhodonite, snowflake obsidian and hickoryite jasper. The grout joints act as drawing lines bringing the imagery to life.
