Item description
A digitally combined patchwork of tiles. Each tile features a depiction of Medusa formed by shards of glass, with white and transparent glass for skin and shades of green to form her snake hair. The image is repeated in squares of four, with the tiles rotated so the faces face each other, forming a 9-square quilt-like pattern. Three of the squares are true to color; the top left, bottom center, and middle right. Two of the squares are tinted pale green; the top center and left center. The top right and bottom left drama are tinted red. The center and bottom left are tinted yellow.

Medusa Tile

My project is entitled “Family Life Instalments.” With five kids at home, age ranges 5 to 14, my partner Lily and I have had to be pretty creative with how we fill the time to keep the kids occupied. And we have a lot of material to offer a glimpse into a “family life” during these times. (If any one, in fact, wants to see!) The work consists of digital photographs and art of physical objects found in our home. For example, the first file is a year of parchment paper baking, all of the photos I’ve taken of a year’s worth of baking with parchment, and the second file is some of the window art Lily and the kids have done, using glue, food colouring, watercolour and painter’s tape. All work is done in our home.
