$50,000 Mosaic Newest Feature at Bryn Mawr Hospital

The artist is a Lower Merion resident.

 

On March 6, Bryn Mawr Hospital hosted a reception marking the installation of a $50,000 signature work of art by Bala Cynwyd's Jonathan Mandell in the Warden Lobby Quilt Room.

The 6- by 8-foot piece, commissioned by the Bryn Mawr Hospital Foundation, features 16 images that speak to the hospital’s 100-plus year history and future.

It was made using many different materials, including ceramic tile, mirror metals and glass. The grout lines act as drawing lines, bringing the imagery to life as they establish both depth perspective and volume of form, and encourages people to view it up close and touch it.

“We’re thrilled to have one of Jonathan Mandell’s mosaics at Bryn Mawr Hospital, especially one that is so personalized to reflect the staff and work that defines our hospital,” said Bryn Mawr Hospital President Andi Gilbert. “It’s a signature piece that will welcome the community to Bryn Mawr Hospital for years to come.”
