After all my blogging about the process, I’m so excited to finally reveal what I’ve been doing fiddling around with ceramic tiles in collaboration with Spier Architectural Arts:
At the First Thursdays event tonight, there’s a special preview of this World Design Capital project called Half Square (project #WDC382).
Half Square is launching at a couple of venues around the city, including the Skinny laMinx shop window at 201 Bree Street, where you’ll be able to see this 2.1 x 1.4m ceramic tile panel in 12 shades of green that I’ve been keeping under wraps. Ta da!
I’m looking forward to seeing the other commissioned panels, which have been made by knitwear designer Laduma Ngxokolo, and fine artists Doreen Southwood and Swain Hoogervorst, which will be on display at Robert Sherwood design and at the AVA gallery.
Each of the Half Square Artist Panels is for sale, and the purpose of this preview is to showcase the creative possibility of the Half Square tile, as they’ll soon be available for purchase so that you can make up your own amazing design. For now though, Half Square will be open for large-scale commissions.
