New ancient art

“Face First” (mosaic), by Pat McChristian, in the show “New England Mosaic Society: Ten Years on the Cutting Edge,’’ at the Art Complex Museum, Duxbury, Mass., opening Aug. 17.

The museum says:

“Mosaics as an art form is constantly stretching and expanding to be used in endlessly different ways. This exhibition features work made from multitudes of materials, used in unexpected and compelling ways, which completely relate to the current world and circumstances.’’
