The mosaic is a response to Samuel Palmer's
'Pear Tree in a Walled Garden', circa 1829,
when he was living in Shoreham, and painting
his garden at Water House, the Georgian
house on the edge of the river that runs
through Shoreham. As a lover of trees and
nature, I was very inspired by the quirkiness
of his pear tree, espaliered to the wall and
in full spring bloom – I felt that it lent itself
beautifully to being recreated in mosaic.
