Mosaic works exploring structure, growth, and material intelligence
I create mosaic artworks that examine how form, material, and constraint shape becoming
Working primarily with reclaimed ceramic tile and steel, my practice centers on systems—root structures, thresholds, interruption, and continuity. The work resists decoration in favor of structure, allowing material history and imperfection to remain visible.

Mercedes Austin
I am a mosaic artist focused on structure, material, and systems of growth. My practice explores growth not as a metaphor, but as a system—how form develops through constraint, interruption, and continuity. I am drawn to moments where order and chaos coexist, and where structure does not resolve tension, but holds it.
