Johona-Mai was part of 3 different public art programs in Alamosa, Carbondale and in Manitou Springs. She won the people's choice award in both Alamosa and Carbondale. Click this link to see the Alamosa Installation: http://www.kasiamosaics.com/2017/07/johona-mai-sculpture-installation.html
Johona-Mai was
sculpted by hand and is adorned in a modern, colorful, hand cut
stained glass mosaic pattern. Her form originates from Russia, where
the first Matryoshka Doll was made and has since become
a symbol in Eastern European Culture where Kasia was born. Today the
doll has a place in contemporary pop culture around the world. The form
of our doll was kept traditional to inspire the nostalgia one often
feels when laying eyes on a nesting doll. The decorative motif
highlights the purity of the form with color, pattern and the innocence
of a flower often present on traditional dolls but with a contemporary
flair.
