Each tile begins with a moment in nature — flowers and foliage pressed gently into clay to capture their fleeting form. From this impression, a wooden frame is set and plaster poured, preserving every delicate vein and petal in lasting relief. Once the clay is peeled away, what remains is the quiet trace of the original — a memory made material.
This piece is cast by hand in a fine, hard plaster, using a silicone mould taken from the original work. 
Designed to hang with ease from a small nail, and presented in a gift box.
