[2020·Íþº£Êи߿¼Ä£Äâ]We've all been there before: You're driving down the road when suddenly a pothole (°¼¿Ó) seems to appear out of nowhere and sends the __1__ jumping. Most people think potholes are __2__£¬ but artist Jim Bachor sees them as a canvas (»­²¼) for his artwork.

Bachor uses the __3__ art form of mosaic (ÂíÈü¿Ë) to create eye­catching, colorful images of famous artists like Aretha Franklin or simple everyday __4__ like food. He even makes less­appealing visuals of insects.

Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his __5__ in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While __6__ in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, a preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic, made of mainly glass and marble, and told Bachor, “Glass and marble don't __7__. So, this looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bachor says, “That kind of staying power just __8__ me so much.”

A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to __9__ the ancient technique. Years after that, he mastered the technique. He __10__ that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) __11__ to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject£¬” he says.

So, Bachor decided to make a special piece of __12__ for that pothole. He has __13__ mosaic pothole art around Chicago, Detroit, New York City and even in Finland.

While he may not be getting __14__ from drivers or passengers, Bachor's art is __15__ a pleasant surprise to discover.,
