Events › Art Exhibit - Cynthia Fisher: Peregrinations on Being Human, A Mosaic Journey

The Jamaica Plain Branch Library, in collaboration with The Friends of the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library and Uforge, is thrilled to announce the latest edition of its annual rotating art program for 2024. This exhibit proudly features Charlemont, MA resident Cynthia Fisher and her latest collection, "Peregrinations on Being Human, A Mosaic Journey."

Cynthia Fisher, an award-winning mosaic artist with over thirty years of experience, proudly presents her latest exhibition. This new series delves into the complexity of the human experience, reflecting on our wisdom, curiosity, and the impact we have on the environment.

Focusing on mosaics since 2000, Fisher’s work encompasses illustrative, painterly, and non-representational styles, earning her national and international recognition, including the Juror's Choice Award at the Mosaic Arts International show in San Diego in 2016.

Her abstract mosaics are created with deep intention, starting with themes often inspired by nature, science, and mathematics. Fisher carefully selects materials like stained glass, Italian and Mexican Smalti, and pottery shards to craft intricate visual flows known as andamento. The limited color palette inherent to the medium challenges her creativity, resulting in unique, thought-provoking works.

Through this exhibition, Fisher invites viewers to reflect on the essence of humanity and our role in the world.

Cynthia Fisher:'Peregrinations on Being Human, A Mosaic Journey' is on view from August 29-November 13, 2024, with a reception to be held on Thursday, August 29, 2024, 5:30-7:30 PM

The exhibition space is located on the lower level.

More information about Cynthia Fisher and her work can be found on her website. Additional information is also available on the Friends of the Jamaica Plain Branch Library website.

This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of The Friends of the Jamaica Plain Branch of the Boston Public Library, a non-profit organization committed to planning and sponsoring free educational and cultural programs for all patrons of the JP Library.
