An architectural mosaic starts with effective communication. Working collaboratively with the client, a solid concept is developed based on idea generation, colour and design considerations along with the nature of the space. This results in a set of preliminary watercolour sketches which are worked and reworked until everyone involved is completely satisfied (and excited).

To make a strong composition, Lasha creates pattern, direction and contrast within the work by cutting and shaping the glass into small pieces and orientating them in specific ways within the mosaic. This procedure can be quite repetitive and time-consuming as most of her mosaics contain hundreds and sometimes thousands of pieces, but it is a positive, meditative experience.

The stained glass mosaics are best viewed illuminated by sunlight and are intended to be an architectural built-in feature, or to hang in a window or anywhere with sufficient light. Their appearance changes continuously throughout the day as light levels rise and fall, creating an enigmatic piece of art. At night, the mosaics can be appreciated from outside the show space or house as they are illuminated by the light source within.
