The
Mosaic Tile House
Venice, California
The Mosaic Tile House in Venice, California, is a magnificently resplendent labor of love and mosaic madness! Fine artists Cheri Pann and Gonzalo Durna have spent over a decade adorning their home, yard and studio - inside and out - with mosaic of every imaginable material. From pinchpots to mirror, ceramic tiles to bottlecaps, porcelain rabbits, costume jewelry and plastic toys, the swirls of color, light and motional are found on every possible surface. The couple took a course in construciton and learned to design and build the cermaic and painting studio attached to their home. There, Cheri fabricates tiles, and both work on sculpture and large-scale painting. The backyard sports a sculptural mosaic homage to the Watts towers, created with Gonzalo's armatures of rebar and wire.

monumental undertaking when I am in Los Angeles.
