Mosaic
Mosaic
Mosaic occupies a unique position within the history of architectural surfaces. Few materials combine colour, pattern and texture with the same level of freedom. From the decorative floors of the ancient world to the bold geometry of twentieth century interiors, mosaic has continually adapted to new ideas while retaining its distinctive character.
At its simplest, mosaic is a collection of small pieces assembled into a larger whole. Yet that simple principle creates remarkable possibilities. Scale can shift. Geometry can repeat, expand or dissolve. A surface can appear calm from a distance, then reveal layers of detail on closer inspection.
This relationship between the individual piece and the larger composition sits at the centre of my work. Rather than treating mosaic as a picture, I approach it as a system. Each design begins with a repeating unit that develops into something more complex through repetition, rhythm and variation. The result is a collection of patterns that can extend across a surface while maintaining clarity and visual balance.

Material plays an equally important role. Glass introduces light, reflection and depth. Colour appears to shift as conditions change throughout the day. Stone offers a different experience. Natural variation, texture and geological character bring warmth and permanence to a design. The same pattern can take on an entirely different personality depending on the material from which it is made.
For me, mosaic remains one of the most compelling surface materials available. It combines centuries of decorative tradition with almost unlimited opportunities for contemporary expression. Familiar techniques continue to reveal new possibilities, proving that innovation often begins by looking closely at what already exists.

Mosaic Pattern Archive
The Mosaic Pattern Archive brings together patterns developed across different materials, formats and collections. Some began with a particular mosaic in mind, while others have travelled between materials as the ideas have evolved.
