found space tiles | ceramic tiles
wall surface elements defined by the body
1/6
installation
as an architect i often ask myself, "how can this surface, this wall or floor, give more? what more can it give" in answering this question, i have produced a series of ceramic tile prototypes - tiles that "reach out" to be touched.what these tiles give is a reference to the human body, embedded in a building material. the tiles encourage direct physical interaction; through touching and leaning, bodies find new niches for support, undulating folds and protrusions for resting, stimulating pressure points, or simply "fitting" like a garment - a new-found intimacy.
prototypes for found space tiles were made at the european ceramic work centre (.ekwc) in 's-hertogenbosch, the netherlands, as part of an architecture & ceramics residency.
