Bonnie’s “Connect” was recently chosen as Best Architectural Mosaic in the 2021 Mosaic Arts International. The artwork draws an earthbound map: Cleveland State’s GPS coordinates anchor the university itself in place. Water imagery flowing through the letter “E” evokes the natural wonder of Lake Erie. Cleveland steel evokes the city as a steel town, and as a modern industrial, corporate, and technological powerhouse. The seven monumental letters were designed using the Golden Rectangle, a mathematical formula based on a set of numbers known as the Fibonacci Sequence.
