Artist statement:
This tile is an abstract organic tile. I used coil such as braids, spirals, balls, ropes, and flatten pointy coils. I also carved into my piece to create more texture. It is an organic peace. The artwork creates a water flowing motion so that all designs are flowing in one direction. I use texture and space to create my piece and add to its design. They guided me to create the piece i have today.
I was thinking of water when i made it. I wanted to pieces to be abstract but still have a structure to it. There is no function, it is just made for design. I wanted to create a non representational body of water to create structure while keeping it abstract.There were successful and unsuccessful parts to my artwork. The idea was successful and the planning was successful. But putting it all together was very hard as I had had many pieces break off and fall apart while connecting the slab and coils.
