Untitled - porcelain tile, underglaze, mdf, acrylic



This piece is another aleatoric tile work, and an attempt to take advantage of the tendency of porcelain to warp during quick drying. For this piece, porcelain tiles were again cut out and allowed to dry by the whims of the environment. Each tile was then striped using the linear curve created by warping on one of the four given sides of itself. The tiles were mounted on dowels, alternating the line position. I expected this piece to be Op-Art-ish, but I certainly did not foresee the extent to which it would be caffeinated and buzzed. Subtlety be damned with this one. Exact dimensions unknown, but about 24x36x5".
