Bontanical Bas Relief Tiles
Over the years I have worked with capturing the essence of the natural garden in many various art mediums including these bas relief plaster cast tiles. Throughout my journey with this medium over the years, I have found that delicate balance between finished presentation of an art piece/ and letting the floral specimens speak organically for themselves. It is a careful give and take process. The use of natural materials , and development and refinement of my techniques over time, ensure that no two tiles are ever the same, resulting in a collection that embodies both the botanical specimens as they are in nature and careful attention to detail in craftmanship . These tiles are a joyful celebration of all the natural forms and textures found in the garden.
Each tile is made by creating a composition using beautiful live flowers and foilage cut fresh from the garden when they are in their peak form of beauty. They are carefully arranged into a composition and pressed into fresh natural clay. The one time use mold is then cast with plaster capturing the exact likeness of the flower with all of its delicate details showing through in the cast. Each piece is then cleaned, carefully sanded, and finished by hand.
I create these tiles in multiple sizes. Please contact me for current availability for 2024.
