Hand-built stoneware tiles
46″H, 28″W, 1″D

These free-form tiles are hand built and decorated while still wet using the mocha diffusion technique, which involves applying liquid colored clay that absorbs directly into the tiles. After the firing process, the tiles are mounted on a wood frame with industrial strength epoxy for easy hanging. This work has some textural ridges in the tiles for added depth. The measurements are for the work as shown, but it can be arranged in any horizontal or vertical grouping.
