As an experimental mosaicist questioning traditional mosaic practices has driven my MA research. The goal has been to develop sculptures with a strong narrative that explore materials, shape, colour and surface.
After graduating from Goldsmiths College, University of London in 1993 I formed Inspired Mosaics Studio, established first in London and now Brighton. Such experience has enabled me to become skilled as a craftsperson, artist and teacher. Commissions included architectural projects for public and private spaces.
For this project I have drawn on my roots as a Londoner and used mudlarked finds from the River Thames as my source. Fragments of glass and ceramic with their own story to tell are all potential tesserae for a mosaicist.
My goal is to challenge AND celebrate the mosaic medium. To have new conversations about the process of mosaic making and contribute to its’ position as both a craft and a fine artform.
