A library of the sand and stones that make up ten different beaches across Rhode Island. Presented in a way that allows others to utilize and interpret this resource themselves in whichever way they choose.

The ceramic tiles are a way that I have chosen to interpret the samples through microscopic imaging and processing of the images to create colors and patterns reflective of each location. These patterns allow me to manifest the identity of each beach into the individual tiles.

Completed fall of 2019

Inspired by the work of Atelier NL

More Recent investigations have revolved around forming glass from the different locations collected in this project. Through some trial and error, I have been able to create a few samples of glass but I have not yet been able to get the recipe right so that it is compatible with other glass used for glass blowing.
