presently viewing. She is also an Assistant Professor in the Interactive
Design program at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago.
About the tile: The figure on the tile is taken from Runic, an alphabet/ symbol set used by ancient Germanic tribes to invoke nature's energies. This letter, commonly used in combination with others, can be identified as "Elhaz," for protection; or "Mannaz," for human. The technique is vitreous glass mosaic. Thanks to Karen Ami of Mudhouse Studios.
