Denise Jaques is a contemporary mixed-media mosaic artist whose practice is driven by material exploration and process-led experimentation. Guided by the physical properties of each material, she embraces unpredictability while maintaining a rigorous commitment to craftsmanship.

​

Pushing the boundaries of contemporary mosaic, Denise incorporates contrasting reflective surfaces and unconventional materials to challenge traditional expectations of her craft. 

​

Through distortion, fragmentation, and shifting reflections, her work invites viewers to question perception, movement, and the instability of surface and form. Responsive to light, environment, and the presence of the viewer, her mosaics exist in a constant state of visual flux.

Uncommon Ground

Shimmering mosaics exploring an uncommon ground through the research of woven structures and distorted reflections. Combining mirror fragments and gilded glass to create shifting perspectives, tactile depth, and fractured, luminous surfaces of light.

Warp + Weft

Contemporary mosaics of heavily textured black ceramic threads, mirrored surfaces, and distressed gilded and golden glass, woven together to fracture light and create tactile depth and reflection.
