THE ORIGIN

These geometric artifacts often began as early 20th-century architectural porcelain or encaustic tiles from lakeside homesteads and industrial sites, or from crocks or dishware. Over the decades, the relentless churning of the Lake Erie shelf has ‘untamed’ their rigid edges, refining man-made masonry into soft, tactile sea-gems that carry the weight of local history.
