A new approach to deconstructing historic patterning and surface through the installation of triangular shaped wall tiles that create a large scale, three-dimensional ceramic lenticular.

From the left perspective an 18th century Arcadian garden landscape from George-Louis Le Rouge’s “Jardin Anglo-Chinois, Details des Nouveaux Jardins a la Mode, 1784” reveals itself across the tiles. When viewed from the right perspective, a 17th century Iznic tile pattern is revealed in brilliant gold luster.  The floral pattern is inspired by a Turkish tile panel in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

The dual composition of historic pastoral rendering and traditional pattern work both visual representations of paradise echo each other in this lenticular wall installation.

Materials: 50 hand-cast porcelain tile bricks hand-painted with underglaze, glaze and 22 karat gold luster

Measurements: 64h x 69w x 3d inches
