Mosaic and Pressed Botanical Art
The Mosaic Meadow
Handmade mosaic art and pressed flower art, made by Nasila in East London.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman in possession of a good clinic must be in want of a little more colour. I am Nasila, therapist by training and maker by temperament, and for thirteen years I have tended women’s wellbeing by day and, quite unreasonably, hoarded petals, tiles and tiny treasures by night.
The Studio
The work
In the Sparkling Meadow Room, my studio, a dandelion blooms in mosaic, a small homage to seeds that travel and begin again. Pressed flowers wait in frames, rather like guests at a very good assembly, each one arranged with care and a certain amount of ceremony.

A seed of wisdom
The dandelion asked the wind, “Where shall I go?” And the wind replied, “Wherever you are carried, you will take root.”
That is the whole of my philosophy, and very nearly the whole of my method.

Making together
Soon, I hope to make a great mosaic with the women of Newham and the Royal Docks, one small story at a time. The Art of Blooming is its name.
Roots down, petals up, seeds away.
