I found some images of these terracotta plaques that look like tile to me. Anyway you slice it, it serves as another example of how great the ceramic medium is! Once an original is made, it can be cast and voila! 3-d tile repeated and able to be manufactured in multiples. I love the idea of going 3-d to this level with tile. Our use of space is not as constricting as it once was traditionally, so tile like this can applied without being in the way of the function that it serves, and possibly be re-interpreted to have new function because of its deminsionality. The possiblities are so exciting.
