Drawing x Ceramics 5 (Tiles Outcome)

The actual tiles came out milky from the kiln, I think because of an overly thick glaze. For this reason, the tiles with yellow and light blue underglaze were unsuccessful. However, the ones with line drawings in the dark green pencil came out visibly well, and kind of adds to the representation (Clouds and raindrops).

I pieced together the tiles to resemble storm clouds releasing rain, which then splash on the ground. I would love to see these enlarged on a big scale! I think the message is conveyed well, and one of my fellow artists said the same.

I think this piece would look good in a box frame, or attached onto a wooden slate, then framed with a wood border. With the visibly raw material and aesthetic, I think it makes sense to display with these elements exposed, and not try to polish it up.
