Tile #1 (Peep) by Markham is a compact and expressive glazed clay piece, created in 2008. Measuring 2" x 3", this small yet impactful artwork carries a raw, abstract energy, featuring organic washes of earthy brown and deep blue over a white ceramic base.
The composition suggests an abstract figure emerging from the surface, evoking a sense of mystery and spontaneity. The glaze application enhances the texture, with some areas appearing glossy and fluid while others remain matte, creating depth and contrast within the small format.
This piece embodies a tactile quality, with its slightly irregular shape and handmade imperfections adding to its charm. The small hole at the top suggests that it could be displayed as a hanging ornament or integrated into a larger installation.
In like-new condition, Tile #1 (Peep) comes with an artist's certificate of authenticity. Its blend of minimalism and abstraction makes it a unique collectible for those who appreciate small-format ceramics with character and artistic spontaneity.
