As I concern myself with why I am using this shape as a foundation or building block for these abstractions it continues to keep my interest thinking about this type of “grid” that can grow in various directions. The forms that appear when arranging the different pieces together still give me a sense of fun and surprise. Even though these are organized shapes, the compositions remind me of graphic molecules and natural patterns.
This group of tiles are utilizing the similar mark making and palette from the previous set, but this time starting off with a much thinner roll out of clay caused a different approach to the marks. This time the carving and drawing affected both sides of the tile, so I had to be much more delicate with the application of pressure.
