Abstract: "The artworks titled “Locus et Homines” consists of three individual sections. The inspiration for these artworks was the herbal world, the folk tradition and cultural heritage of Spetses. In addition, the creation of the artworks was significantly influenced by the communication with the inhabitants of the island. A wooden “pebble mosaic” is composed on the floor. Wood, as a construction material, was very important for the inhabitants of Spetses, as they used to build their boats with it. The rich pine forest of the island was the source of raw material for this practice. Black and white pebble mosaics decorate sidewalks and inner courtyards of houses on the island. Wooden square pieces compose a “pebble mosaic”. Patterns inspired by the natural wealth of the island were imprinted on it with white and black acrylic. These two colours were used in this artwork, as they are the most common ones in the pebble compositions of the island." Katerina Karatzaferi
