500 Tiles
From press-molded
pieces to carved works showcasing spectacular surface treatments, these
magnificent tiles will inspire beginners and professionals, as well as
collectors and enthusiasts. Some of the larger handcrafted displays here
were made to decorate public and private spaces; others use single tiles
to interpret nature, tell a story, or make a bold cultural observation. As
always in this acclaimed series, all the contributors are accomplished
artists, renowned in the field. Mary Lynn Buss creates the ultimate
kitchen backsplash: a field of mosaic-tiled longnecked irises. Peter King
and his wife and working partner Xinia Marín fashion large, expressively
rendered, and sculptural installations. And Melody Ellis’s low-relief
earthenware tiles pack intriguing narratives into every tile. (420 pages,
paperback, all color)
