Pictures, Mirrors, Exhibition Pieces

A selection of more complex mosaic work; bespoke pieces as a commission, or for exhibitions and galleries, or for my own personal fun! 

All the mosaics use primarily recycled materials, including pre-loved crockery and left-over tiles, either reusing a picture frame or on board.

If you see a mosaic which inspires you but is not the required dimensions or colour scheme please get in touch for a quote for a mosaic to suit your theme.  I can even include crockery or items from your own kitchen to make it even more special.

I have many more mosaics in galleries which are not shown here, and the mosaics can look so different in real life, so visit my About page to find where I am showing my works.

Exhibition Pieces

A depiction of Abbotsford House with a colourful garden in the foreground in mosaic

Made for British Association of Modern Mosaic Exhibition (scotland)

Abbotsford House

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Sir Walter Scott, with my piece Abbotsford House, made for an exhibition at the Scott Gallery in Hawick.

Abbotsford House was created from his vision in the Scots Baronial style, which was in fashion at the time, with lots of stepped gables and chimney pots. He also designed the layout of the gardens with lots of 'rooms'.

Whilst the house and garden structure is depicting it as it currently is, the flowerbeds are from my imagination!

Tree of Life Persian Carpet

The design combines my interpretation of several elements of traditional Persian rugs, however, having to balance tradition with finding the right materials for the mosaic meant a bit of 'artistic licence' in its execution.

Materials including mirror glass, glass tiles (left over from a bathroom job), ceramic dishes, vintage ceramic tile, and ball.
