mosaic fireplace

Posted on November 10, 2016 By admin

Consider the whimsy that frames the hearth in David Edward Byrd and Jolino Beserra’s 1928 Spanish bungalow. Clothed in broken ceramics and found and treasured objects, the fireplace resembles an outsize toy. The swirled mosaic pattern and jumble of shiny fun makes one suspect it’s crowded with spirits. “We built the fireplace as our portrait,” adds Beserra who in 1997 bought the three-bedroom Silver Lake home with Byrd, his partner of 28 years. The couple’s birth dates, initials, portraits and other personal items are embedded in the piece. A collection of 1930s and ‘40s salt and pepper shakers (birds, devils, fat airplanes and a pair of American Indians) are strewn throughout the face and sides. Beserra found many of the items at swap meets. “I place narratives in all my work,” says Beserra, who based the fireplace partly on Van Gogh's the Starry Night. “You can’t look at one of my pieces and not think of a time or place in history. Ten different people will relay 10 different stories.”
