Architectural Finishes
Pip's passion for mosaic with their versatility and colour have featured in a wide range of commissions and applications. These include wall features internally and externally, floors, swimming pool motives, water features, splash backs, table tops, urns and birdbaths. Mostly she uses ceramic tiles in her work, which she loves for their rich colour and shine. Mostly the work is created in the studio and then transfered to location. Pip is happy to work with the client in developing the concept and design which reflects the qualities and specifications particular to the clients needs.
Mosaics have been around for 1000's of years. During the Renaissance, mosaics actually imitated painting. They thought that it was like painting for eternity by using durable materials such as very small glass tiles and precious stones. With these durable materials art could weather the elements and be outside to create decorative colour and design in courtyards and gardens all year round. Even in public spaces particularly during the height of the Roman Empire, mosaics had an important role in creating a culturally rich and decorative expresson over floors, footpaths, baths, walls and even ceilings. In fact virtually any surface was either painted or mosaiced.
