I started experimenting with tiles at a similar moment in time as when I started stitching digital landscapes. These tiles were made during lockdown in 2021, a year that emphasised the internet taking over the domestic space, and so I wanted to document it in a decorative way, allowing me to draw the connection between web tessellation (which is used for maps) and decorative ceramic tiles. The tiles I have used would be describe as subway tiles (that are currently very frequently used in bathrooms and kitchens so have an internal/external relationship to the physical world which arguably the internet has too.) There is also a connection being built between the cleanliness of tiles and of a user focused website.

Browsing Tiles translate the act of navigating digital space into physical form. Each ceramic tile captures a fragment of an imagined terrain — synthetic landscapes shaped by the visual language of the browser window and screen-based environments.
