Christ Pantocrator Textile Mosaic (after mosaic in the Hagia Sophia Cathedral) by Michelle L Hofer, 9 x 4.5 feet, fabric construction, 2011
My textile Pantocrator mosaic is based on the mosaic I saw in the Aya Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul. Mine is just slightly larger than the original and is the most extensive work of art I have ever completed. It contains around 20,000 hand-cut fabric tiles in cotton, satin and taffeta fabrics versus stone tiles. An iron-on backing was applied to a variety of colored fabrics which were then hand cut into 1/4—3/8 inch squares. The squares were then individually positioned on the sheer background fabric and ironed into place.
Pantocrator is the Greek word meaning Almighty, all-powerful, ruler of all, sustainer of the world. Pantocrator is the name given to Christ in the book of Revelation where it appears nine times.
