Scope and Contents

Moss writes,"There is something magical about mosaics...there seems to be some innate fascination with the idea that many tiny individual color segments can be blended by the eye and the mind into a continuous image...I realized I could do micro painted mosaics with the broad strokes [of a turkey feather quill pen] making the miniscule squares of color." The quote is from psalms 119 " I rejoiced when they said to me: Let us go up to the house of the Lord." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
