Tile 1872 - 1888

This yellow tile was crafted by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works. Its verticality is immediately striking, a deliberate choice that guides the viewer's gaze upwards, encouraging a detailed examination of the floral arrangement. The composition, dominated by the relief of flowers and foliage, presents an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, creating an almost palpable texture. The monochromatic palette, a spectrum of yellows, accentuates the formal structure of the tile. The materiality of the ceramic is not merely a medium but an integral aspect of the artwork. Here, the tile transcends its utilitarian function, becoming a study in form and texture. The choice to render the floral arrangement in relief challenges fixed meanings, prompting us to consider how dimensionality influences perception. This tile is not just an object but an exploration of visual language.
