About his tile:
“Assimilation” means absorption into a cultural tradition. This
aluminum tile provides the recipient with a
cut-out circular collaboration space. The receiver is free to interact and
make an equally durable artwork in
this said space. Within this interaction, among the tiles, the site and the
viewer, the exchange and
absorption continue.
