CALIFORNIA - The central part of a much-loved surfing Madonna mosaic will make a brief public appearance in late August, roughly two months after the rogue public art project was removed from under a railroad bridge and put into storage. Mosaic artist Mark Patterson, a longtime Leucadia resident, said Monday he will display the panel containing the Madonna's face at the LeucadiART Walk event in August "because I know people miss her." He said he feels it's important to bring part of his 10-foot-by-10-foot artwork back for a public viewing because he's expecting it may take months for him to select a permanent home for the mural. "I don't think anything will happen before August or September," Patterson said as he discussed his options for the mosaic. [link]
