Excellent displayed condition, never hung, no heavy wear, chips or damage. Small marks on back on black paint-see pic Size: 6"x8"x 1 1/4" Released: 2006 - Retired: 2010 Sid Dickens is an internationally renowned Canadian artist known for creating handmade 6' x 8" plaster tiles. Every tile is skillfully handmade in small batches by a team of artisans, therefore no two tiles are exactly the same. The back consists of wood (with a hole for hanging), the sentiment for that tile number, and a stamped logo. Each year, Sid Dickens introduces collections inspired by his experiences, travels, and the world around him; while also retiring numerous tiles. For over 25 years, Sid Dickens has been creating his own moulds which are used to pour plaster. Once the plaster is dry, a team of skilled artisans use techniques such as glazing, gliding and staining, methodically applied in layers, to decorate the tile. You will notice that no two tiles are exactly the same because of this. "Pandora for your wall" is how Sid Dickens collectors describe their collection. This artwork is personal, and each persons' collection and display is unique to that individual. Apart from the artwork on the front, the entire collection features many personal messages that commemorate different occasions or conjure a special memory that would make them an ideal versatile art collection as well as a meaningful gift. Whether hung on a wall or placed in a stand, Sid Dickens tiles are a permanent sentiment always on display. Please note that slight differences when compared to the presentation image should be expected due to the handmade nature of the Memory Blocks. PLEASE NOTE: Sid Dickens decided to no longer sell his collection through retailers making them harder to come by especially retired tiles.
