From this angle one can see the entrance to the
original residence at Luna Parc shown on the left. On the right we see the mosaic
facades of the recently added bathroom under the cupola. |
The
many mosaic facades are inspired by the work of Gaudi, Hundertwasser and
Klimt. Continuing in the great tradition of mosaic art, Ricky intends to
cover every bare concrete surface.
The
materials are generally, high fire ceramic, such as stoneware and
porcelain, as well as glass and broken tea cups. For the harsh
climate of winter, all materials need be weather resistant.
Also embedded in the walls are many tiles Ricky has collected from
artists he meets at the many craft shows that he attends.
The
process of tiling is quite time consuming Ricky claims" I want to make
as many cement sculptures as I can while I am relatively young and spend
my old age tiling them.
I
plan to live to 100 at least and it is a good thing as there is a lot to
do."
More detailed pictures of the incredible mosaic
work on the exterior of the bathroom are shown below.
