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.
