The balanced interplay of light and darkness in Fensterstock’s work oscillates between sensations of clarity and mystery, the miniature and the monumental, embodiment and expansion. Each work begins with an ink drawing. From there, she constructs wood and steel frameworks, coats them in cement, embellishes them with intricate mosaics, and finishes them with mortar and grout. Like assembling a spiritually charged puzzle, Fensterstock designs her mosaics piece by piece, each detail imbued with intuition, contemplation, and care.
