Much of my work has been created in response to our disposable society. If an object is slightly damaged, it is thrown away rather than repaired and then quickly replaced. Materials such as broken china and old teapots, shattered bus shelter glass and buttons are all incorporated within my work. By adorning discarded, functional objects I transform the readymade, pushing “junk” into a fine art context. The metamorphosis of the ordinary into the extraordinary continues to fascinate me.

Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you penning this
write-up plus the rest of the site is really good.
I too am a mosaic artist. But have done only panels or wall/ floor installation. I recently have decided to do an exterior 3-D piece over fiber glass… Are you using your grout as a setting material ? Any words of wisdom as I begin. It is a 6 foot statue of a man.
Wonderful work! thanks! Do you ever mosiac over metal? Is there any prep for that?
What is pva? I am new at this.
Your art is superb. I wish I see it live sometime.
thanks for all the lovely comments! I mainly use BAl grout – varying sorts – always exterior and always wide joint. Varying flexibility depending on the surface – ask your local tile specialist, they are usually really helpful. My bases are made from a mix of recycled bits and pieces, old tools etc, if on chicken wire then with a cement scrim. Loads of work before you even start the mosaic side, but always worth it!
Happy mosaicing – got some new work to upload including a mosaic and planted monster built with school children, one of my favourite pieces to date.
I love the wheelbarrow and the winged cow. What do you use for grout? I’m guessing it’s weather proof. Beautiful work – thank you for sharing!
you are amazing. i love your work
Hi Anne. Your mosaics are so beautiful. My 8 year old and i would like to create some art for our garden and i think it would be a nice way to teach him about reusing discarded items. What are the original sculptures made of that you mosaic onto ?
Very inspired!

Hello your sculptures are fab, i would like to know if you first coat the sculptures first before your start mosaicing. I am asking because i have a large wooden scuplture and would like to mosaic it. I do not know where to start i would be most grateful for any advice. Thank you.
Anastasia.
Hi Anastasia, sorry – don’t check this site too often – If you haven’t already started (and maybe completed) your mosaic – yes best to prime it with a watered down pva before applying the tile adhesive. – make sure it is sanded down if you have any varnish on it!
Good luck
