Van Gogh inspired this mosaic.  

Kente cloth is traditional to the Ashanti tribe in Ghana, as are cross-shaped fertility dolls with large round heads.  Images of two of these dolls are part of the background in this mosaic and not visible in a photograph. Kente cloth is traditionally woven in thin strips on a hand loom. Larger cloths are made from sewing these strips together. The artist bought this elegant strip and a larger cloth in Kumasi in 1972.

George Steinmetz took an aerial photo of this Algerian village, which was published in The New Yorker magazine.  Mr. Steinmetz graciously gave me permission to base a mosaic on his photo.
