Fountain

Initially, I had not planned on creating a tile for a fountain. This tile was created under the context of a transit station- modern and geometric to appeal to urban citizens. When we shared the tiles in class this ended up on the fountain table and it made a lot more sense there. It has a fountain feel to it, rotating from a central point. But because it still has the thick, blocky letters from its transit roots it is has an interesting feel to it. Some might find it has a Native American with the star-like pattern in the middle, or even find that it resembles the sun.
From the creation of this tile I learned a second (or third) opinion can be extremely helpful. The artists vision can be very different from the audience’s perception. From now on I will definitely seek out the opinions of others before finalizing any work.
