Ứng dụng The stunning globe, which Alison created by hand, incorporated silicone sealant and grout donated by Mapei; it is one of 103 globes decorated by selected artists, and the only creation formed from mosaics.
“It was an absolute privilege to be chosen for this project. It took me exactly 420 hours to complete my globe over a period of nine weeks. I handcut over 22,000 individual pieces of glass, vintage china and tile, and used seven tubes of silicone and 12kg of grout, kindly donated by Mapei. Having exclusively used Mapei products for my mosaics since 2013, I knew that these materials wouldn’t let me down. I’ve previously used them in the application of exterior mosaics, know that they withstand freeze/thaw temperatures and which substrates they work best with, for longevity and peace of mind,” explained Alison. Mapei products used by Alison included Mapesil LM clear silicone sealant – a low modulus, solvent-free and odourless neutral formulation, with BioBlock® technology for mould-resistance. The mosaics were grouted with Ultracolor Plus grouts, in three shades: Chocolate, Anthracite and Sand. Ultracolor Plus is an anti-efflorescence, quick-setting and drying polymer-modified system, with water-repellent DropEffect® technology and BioBlock®.
