Mosaicism – Thinking in Mosaic

Book presentation by Helen Bodycomb, who is present in Zoom Connection, with Angela Longo of Libreria Dante and Arianna Gallo of Koko Mosaico.

In Mosaicism, Bodycomb draws on her experience as a visual artist and her innovative research to explore the human impulse to “make special.” This intuitive process of assembling small parts emphasizes not only the finished work, but also the act of creating itself.
Starting from the Hellenic roots of mosaic, Bodycomb takes the reader on a fascinating journey that interweaves fiction and non-fiction. Through images, prose, theoretical reflections, poetry and historical analysis, Mosaicism investigates making as a form of thought, highlighting the intrinsic memories held in the materials. The author elevates mosaic to a striking contemporary art form, offering readers a new perspective on this ancient practice.
With an extensive bilingual offering in English and Italian, Mosaicism will captivate all those who wish to explore the mosaic tradition and its relevance in today’s world.
