The Dyffryn Mosaic


This work is a celebration of the centenary of the Pompeian Garden at Dyffryn 1909-2009 (MXMIX-MMIX).

A Roman labyrinth mosaic was unearthed in Caerleon in 1865 with its centre missing. I appropriated its design and 'completed' its centre for this celebration, thus linking Roman Caerleon with Dyffryn's Roman Garden.

This is an oil painting with minute pieces of textile forming its tesserae.
