Escape Artists is a creative collaboration between contemporary mosaic artists Caitlin Hepworth and Marian Shapiro. They tell personal stories with universal relevance themed on escape and displacement, as well as extending the boundaries of and accessibility to mosaic art; an ancient artform with diverse contemporary application. Using the medium of contemporary mosaic they explore timeless themes by referencing physical and psychological states, covering distance and time from both personal and universal perspectives.
