"La Corrente" Wins 3-D Mosaic Honors for Julie Richey

“La Corrente, a figurative dress sculpture in marble, glass smalti and seashells, is about beauty amidst destruction,” says Richey.“It was created during the Gulf oil spill and it alludes to the many destructive forces, both man-made and natural, that creep in with the current.” Richey describes her work as “utilizing the innate opulence of mosaic materials – 24k gold smalti, marble, semi-precious stones, iridescent glass and minerals – to embellish sculptural forms in unexpected ways.”
