This artwork is a contemporary approach to mosaic made from glass, fractured stone fragments, and weathered pieces of wood the artist has salvaged, cut, and dried. Each piece of glass and wood has been hand fit and glued to a plywood substrate. Texture is provided by the natural surfaces of the trees that have been weathered and grayed by natural elements. Glass is chipped along the edges for further textural interest. Washes of acrylic color have been added to some areas of the mosaic.

This artwork is a narrative of our human connection to nature. Elemental motifs of fire, water, stone, and plants are woven together to illustrate the interconnectedness of life. "Reading the Tea Leaves" tells the story of how we see patterns in the world all around us and what that means to our lives.

Aaron Laux Design
"I believe that we infuse the objects in our daily lives with emotions and memories that reflect who we are. My greatest satisfaction is when other people can experience art through their own stories and recollections. When we fall in love with a work of art, it will continue to give back to us. I believe that to live with art is to live well."

Aaron Laux's designs are inspired by nature, and his intent is to deliver this "nature design" to the built environment. He feels that the addition of organic forms to interior spaces can create a subtle shift to a more livable dwelling. When Laux hears the impressions other people have of his work, it is these personal stories that create connections and the feelings that have a lasting effect in our homes and work places.

Laux challenges himself to use materials that are local and reclaimed, whether they are plywood and construction scraps or whole trees. A chainsaw is the first tool of choice when whole trees are used. The wood is sectioned, shaped, and dried. He then uses stack lamination and free-form fabrication to build the design. In addition to wood, Laux employs concrete, metal, glass and paper.

Laux apprenticed with furniture maker Steven Spiro between the years of 1995 and 2005, and then moved on to the building trades and custom cabinetry. He has a total of 25 years of experience in woodworking and custom design.
