Here is a painting that I entered in the Exclamation Gallery's upcoming Superior Floor System show. All the paintings had to be on 12x12 inch floor tiles, and all the work will be installed as actual floor tiles and eventually destroyed when gallery guest walk on them.



The image on the linoleum tile is actually the image from another linoleum tile that I bought. I had originally intended to have two tiles and transfer each image onto the other tile, but (I think due to heat) the tiles would warp and bend during the process. So it wound up as just one, but I think it's still alright. I was intrigued by the idea of painting on a tile and wanted to get a bit into the idea of 'what is a tile?'. The purpose of this painting was to see if having this tile look like another tile would change it at all.
