Mosaic of the Year Award

2014 AWARD

The winner of the 2014 Mosaic of the Year award is Tessa Hunkin and her team from the Hackney Mosaic Project for The Shepherdess Walk Park mosaics.  The mosaics started as a project funded by Hackney Council to celebrate 2012, the year of the London Olympics. The first two panels were inspired by Roman mosaics but they also show details from contemporary life in Hackney. Amongst the trees and animals that you would find in ancient floors there are frisbees, ipods and leaf blowers.

You can read more about the project in this Mosaic Art Now feature by Nancie Mills Pipgras.


Two of the earlier panels featured on the front cover of Grout in the Autumn of 2012 and as part of a feature entitled 'Learning from the past through 21st century eyes'.
