"Wine Country, Square on Square tile series"

Ceramic Tile

Created by Phyllis Pacin
Decorative raku fired tile. In addition to being used as trim tile in a wall of field tile, each tile can be used as a coaster, to protect furniture from hot dishes, or simply to be enjoyed visually. If you prefer this tile to be felt-footed, please enter that in the "Special Instructions" field upon checkout. Each tile is lacquered to make it waterproof. They can be used in kitchens and bathrooms.

The luster glazes in the raku firing process vary from piece to piece. Each Blue Skies tile is glazed with identical colors, but the look can vary. The two tiles in the photo show this variation. See detail photo of four tiles to see additional variety. Sold individually.

About this Artist

Phyllis Pacin

"Ironically, after falling in love with the seductive feel of clay in my hands, I have developed a style that involves using the clay in tile form, like a blank canvas to be painted on."

Phyllis Pacin's current body of raku-fired ceramic tile work is worlds away from her background of traditional sculpture and pottery. Her love of two-dimensional design, coupled with a lifelong involvement with clay, has manifested itself in the creation of perfectly flat wall work with a twist. Playing with the space within the picture plane, and the illusions this creates, has become as important as the composition of her subject matter. The result is a unique interplay of two and three dimensions.

She designs her work--arrangements of hand-rolled and textured raku fired tiles mounted on acrylic or wood--as free-hanging pieces. While some are composed of square tiles, more often she works with parallelogram-shaped tiles, which she arranges into architectural compositions that give a trompe l'oeil illusion of three-dimensional form. Some pieces go one step further in tricking the eye by "folding" the forms visually so that they look like actual three-dimensional objects existing in real space.

Pacin's artwork hangs in museums and in public, private, and corporate collections worldwide.
