500 Tiles

The magnificent tiles showcased in this impressive collection will inspire beginners and professionals, as well as collectors and enthusiasts. Some of the larger displays were made to decorate public and private spaces; others use single tiles to interpret nature, tell a story, or make cultural observations. As always in this acclaimed series, all the contributors are accomplished artists, renowned in the field. Mary Lynn Buss creates a field of mosaic-tiled long-necked irises. Peter King and his wife and working partner Xinia Marin fashion large, expressively rendered and sculptural installations. And Melody Ellis' low-relief earthenware tiles pack intriguing narratives into every tile.
