PC: Mosaic House of Dunedin
Carol Sackman and Blake White purchased the house in 2000 and started decorating it with mosaics in 2003.
Their artwork also features in a sculpted mailbox and an eight-foot-by-eight-foot mosaic arch in the front yard, according to the Mosaic House of Dunedin. Visitors to the artists’ mosaic-covered home also bring their own reactions, which Sackman says can vary widely. Artists in Dunedin, Florida, have spent more than two decades transforming their home into a colourful mosaic artwork. Sackman and White make some pieces individually and collaborate on others, bringing their distinct artistic approaches together. Their home reflects their shared belief in creative freedom and their desire to shape their surroundings through art. Over the years, their artwork has spread across much of the kitchen, bathrooms, back garden fence and the sides of the house. Their creations also feature a sculpted mailbox and an eight-foot-by-eight-foot mosaic arch in the front yard. The artists have shaped their living space around what makes them happy, believing they should be free to create an environment they enjoy without worrying about conventional ideas of how a home should look. After visiting the home, some people even bring discarded objects for the artists to use in their future mosaics. For Sackman and White, their home reflects the creative freedom they value in their everyday lives. They produce some artworks together and others individually, respecting their different approaches to making art. Both believe creativity should be open to everyone and that people should continue to play, experiment and explore new ideas as adults.
Since then, their creations have spread across much of the kitchen, bathrooms, back garden fence and the sides of the house.
