4 coaster/tile set by Alison Milner
£36.00
4 coasters/tiles with illustrations inspired by Alison’s childhood and playing with her sisters in suburban gardens.
'Childhood Weeds' collection features 4 individual illustrations that become a set for you to use as either coasters or tiles. The artist recalls:
"Dissecting the tiny heart shaped seed pods of shepherd’s purse to find the tiny shiny seeds. Making the wild Barley heads walk across our shuffled palms. Looking for four leafed clovers and sticking Goose Grass all over our cardigans."
Materials: Green illustrations, fired onto pale cream Johnson tiles (with cork spots on reverse to prevent scratching surfaces when used as coasters)
Dimensions: 10cm x 10cm x 5mm
Sold as a set of 4
The relationship of nature to the built environment is a key theme in Alison's practice. Her aesthetic is clean and clear - reducing, simplifying and uncovering underlying patterns. She enjoys injecting gentle humour, visual poetry, narrative and a sense of place into her work.
