Begin at dawn. Observe how the sun slices the world into fragments of light and shadow. It is in these fragments that the true artistry resides.
Create your first shadow mosaic by tracing the outline of common objects: a chair, a potted plant, a stack of books.
With each piece of shadow, weave a pattern. Patterns tell stories even when words fail. Focus on the edges, for they hold the most potential—curved, jagged, smooth; each edge a tale untold.
Time's margins are filled with sketches in the shadows. Observe the movements of light throughout the day, and let these movements guide the coherence of your mosaic.
